80% nursery fees paid for by government?

[Water_Melon]

My OH said two people he works with gets 80% nursery fees paid for.
I've never heard of this before! Does anyone know any info about it?

Just worked out a childminder will cost me £13k a year

Do you mean tax credits? Or Childcare vouchers?

When I was working I did indeed get 80% of my childcare paid. As far as I'm aware though it was only for single parents? x

My SIL gets about 70% paid by the government. Her and her OH both work full time but they have a 2year old at nursery 5 days a week and are also legal guardians of 2 teenage boys both in full time education. Once the boys move out or finish college though they won't get anything and she'll have to give up work x
