You can try tax credits website it gives you a rough idea how much you would or could get try this link http://www.taxcredits.inlandrevenue.gov.uk/Qualify/DIQHousehold.aspx.

I work ful time and have 3 children and get 80% of my childminders fees paid for, if i didnt get these tax credits i would not be able to work.
Hope this helps.

If you contct your local CAB office they will help - or your health visitor. But you can claim tax creditsas above, you can claim child benefit, and you can also get the tax free child care vouchers through your employers - you can both claim these, the tax savings will lessen the childcare costs. Otherwise i'm not much help - sorry.
