Am I eligible for a contribution towards the cost of childcare when I do unpaid work?
Frequently asked questions - Rates - Am I eligible for a contribution towards the cost of childcare when I do unpaid work?
You are only eligible for a contribution towards the cost of childcare when you work in your partner’s business without any compensation.
As the tax authorities mean by work that you:
are employed by an employer;
work in your partner’s business without any compensation;
have income from business;
have income from other activities, for instance as a freelancer or an artist;
take part in a reintegration programme via your employer.
Which location has space available in the short term?
Due to staff shortages in the childcare sector, we are increasingly unable to meet placement requests from parents. Sometimes a place becomes available at a location for which we do not have a request. We will offer these places on this page.
