You get child benefit, which everybody gets, and child tax credits as well as working tax credit that depends on your income and can go towards childcare. You would be best to go to the inland revenue website and use their tax credit calculator. This basically gives you enough that you can just about afford everything without having to worry too much about money.

Child benefit, child tax credits, working tax credits, & up to 80% of your childcare costs are covered if you work over 16 hours per week, depending on how much you earn. You’re also obviously entitled to some form of maintenance from the non-resident parent.
