Informal childcare continuesto be relied on more than formal childcare in all family circumstances, says a report from the Department for Work and Pensions based on data from the 2003 Families and Children Study. The report states that formal types of childcare - those eligible for Government support - were used mostly for pre-school children and to a lesser extent young school-age children. Children in Britain: Findings from the 2003 Families and Children Study can be downloaded at www.dwp.gov.uk.
