Hi Marogak, the basic entitlement to childcare grant is 85% of childcare costs incurred or the capped weekly amount below:

2025/26 Weekly Allowances (7 days)
One child: £199.62
Two of more children: £342.24

Thanks, Stephen.

342.24 it's for each child or for both of them please ?Also if I have to pay let's say each week for Both my kids 600£ .That means student finance will only pay half each week please?
