Note: If the ‘Signals� screen displays, select ‘OK�.

  • select ‘CCâ€� on the toolbar. You will be taken to the ‘Childcare Detailsâ€� screen
  • select the appropriate childcare provider
  • select ‘Changeâ€�. You will be taken to the ‘Change Childcare Providerâ€� screen
  • select the appropriate tax year from the ‘Costsâ€� field
  • check the end date in the ‘Costsâ€� field and compare this date to the start date of the new childcare costs.

If the end date in the ‘Costs� field is a later date than the start date of the new childcare costs, amend the end date in the ‘Costs� field to the day prior to the start date of the new costs. This will prevent an overlap of childcare costs.

If the end date in the ‘Costs� field is an earlier date than the start date of the new childcare costs, take no further action. There will be no overlap of childcare costs.
