As most nurseries charge month/week in advance when starting work how did you pay this?
How do you manage to pay fees upfront when you haven’t even started work when registering child? Anyone claimed tax credits for nurseries? how long does it take to come through?
We always had to pay a deposit when they went to nursery so i used to try and save some money each month so that in June we would have the deposit ready when it was needed. I dont know about the tax credit, have you asked the nursery about it, they might be able to help you.
Take care
