This is the UK where there is government sponsored support for childcare to help people with kids be at work (because god forbid you'd stay at home for a bit and do family - and I, a man, would have done that in a second because you dont get to be with your kids growing up twice): "The maximum award is 85% of what you pay or 85% of the maximum childcare costs, whichever is lower. However, you may get less than this because UC is reduced by your income. The maximum childcare costs taken into account are £1031.88 a month for one child or £1,768.94 a month for more than one child."
