Like everything else, the cost of childcare has increased massively, making some parents fear it’s not worth them working any more.
A new analysis by Labour has found the cost of after-school clubs for primary-age children has risen by more than £800 a year since 2010, increasing 1.5 times faster than other items, such as food and clothing, and meaning the average family is now spending more on after-school clubs than on their weekly food shop.
