Proof of childcare charges for claiming benefits

Part of: Benefits: proof we need

You need to give us proof for each child getting childcare.

Give us your childcare agreement or receipts for payments you make.

Your proof must tell us:

  • the name of the child
  • the name of the person or organisation that provides childcare
  • the childcare provider's Ofsted registration number
  • the days and times childcare is provided

Your proof must also tell us if the childcare is provided:

  • all year
  • during term-time only
  • school holiday only
  • for another period
