The Cost of Childcare

The Daycare Trust has just published Childcare Costs Survey 2009, it's eighth annual survey examining the cost of nursery places, childminders or out-of-school clubs up and down the country. A summary of the main points is available here.

Further analysis of the survey's findings is provided by this Guardian article, while this BBC article asks four different parents how they manage to pay for the childcare services which they use.
