Help with childcare costs - which childcare qualifies?

Childcare costs

You must use registered or approved childcare which may be provided by:

  • a childminder, nursery, play scheme or a club that is registered to provide childcare.
  • someone approved under the home Childcare Approval Schemes in England, Wales and Northern Ireland who provides childcare in your child's home or in domestic premises.
  • a school, out of school hours and on school premises - but special arrangements apply in England and these are explained below.
  • a care worker or nurse from an agency registered for providing care in the home, for example, a domiciliary care worker.
  • an approved foster carer, but the care must be for a child who is not the carer's foster child.
