Many parents in Hinckley and Bosworth to get help with childcare costs
A major childcare package is set to help 2,970 parents in Hinckley and Bosworth, Liberal Democrat parliamentary spokesman Cllr Michael Mullaney said today. Working families will be given up to £2,000 to ease the cost of childcare as part of a scheme to be rolled out in Autumn 2015. The Government has said it will provide 20 per cent support on childcare costs up to £10,000 per year for each child. For example, it means a family with two children under 12-years-old could benefit by up to £4,000 as a result. Cllr Michael Mullaney said: "Today's news provides a huge boost to hardworking families in Hinckley and Bosworth "The Liberal Democrats are committed to building a stronger economy and a fairer society and this helps children get off to the best start in life."
