Re: Childcare expensive...
Yeah I saw this,
the news report is something like
'shock horror - some parents paying up to £39,000 a year in childcare costs.....'
WHo are these parents? How many kids must they have in childcare at the one time?
A full timer at say £150 a week is only £7, 800 per year.plus maybe another one, so looking at £15,000 for 2 under 5's Maybe an after schooler too. Say about £5,000 a year? thats £20,000 - which sounds a lot anyway. But £39.000 a year??
They are only having to pay these costs if they have loads of children that need looking after. If they cant afford it then dont have so many children. It was saying that childcare in the south east and london are the highest costs - these parents are likely paid moire becuase of the are a they are in also.
Its yet another report that could potentially make people think negatively about childminders, that we are over-priced
