The podcast to help you make the most of your money
Childcare can be one of the biggest costs facing families, with full-time childcare for a child under two averaging £263 a week.
In this episode, Steve is joined by Amelia Murray to explain the help available to parents — including two government schemes that could save some families up to £8,000 a year.
They cover who qualifies, how the schemes work, how much you could save and why around 400,000 families may be missing out on support they’re entitled to.
If childcare costs are taking a big bite out of your budget, this episode will help you understand what help is available and how to claim it.
