Hello everyone,
my maternity leave has expired and I have to go back to work,the problem is that I live in Westminster and as a full time employee the cost of the childcare is higher than my wedges. I am already in UC and they only can top up to 645£ as a limit of cost towards childcare which is now calculated to cost around 1400£ monthly as a lowest estimate from the borough providers.
as my rent is high I can barely cover my bills I need to go back to work as my UC is now capped and I am left with only with 100£ to live on with my daughter every month after paying the rent and the bills.
my employer doesn’t want to reduce my hours and I don’t want to resign after 10 years of service.
any advice please?
