Do you want to use childcare? Then you want to make sure you can afford it. Many parents who use childcare are entitled to the childcare allowance. BOinK (Association of Parents in Childcare) has devised and developed a handy toolkit 'Explanation of Childcare Allowance'.
The toolkit explains childcare allowance: what is it, who is entitled to it and what are the conditions? In addition, the toolkit helps you step-by-step through the most important sections on the Toeslagen website. The toolkit is available to everyone and can be downloaded for free in; Dutch, English, Polish, Arabic, Ukrainian or Russian.
