According to Coram Family and Childcare’s 21st annual Childcare Survey, published today (Tuesday), for a part-time nursery place (25 hours) parents are paying 2.5 per cent more for childcare for under-twos, 2 per cent more for two-year-olds, and 3.5 per cent for three and four-year-olds compared to last year.
The cost of childcare for children under the age of two is greatest in inner London where parents pay an average of £183.56 per week for 25 hours, while those in Yorkshire and Humberside pay around £122.17.
The survey finds that for parents eligible for the 30 hours of funded childcare and wanting a full-time place (50 hours a week), they are having to pay, an average of £105.76 a week for the additional 20 hours in England and £98.58 in Wales.
