Full-time nursery costing nearly £15k a year.

There is a crisis in the UK's childcare system. It now costs an average of £15,000 a year to keep children between 1-2 years old in nursery according to a new report by the charity Coram, a figure that will simply be unaffordable for many. The impact of childcare often has an understated on the parents as well as the child - it means parents being forced to put a pause on their career for a few years to look after their children full time. Which also means household budgets shrink, and this impacts the rest of the economy.
