Disadvantaged children could be being “priced out” of accessing the same early years education as their peers in working families due to the Government’s expansion of funded childcare, a report has warned.
Families who are not in work, or do not earn enough to be eligible for new funded childcare entitlements in England, will pay around £105 a week more than eligible working families for a part-time nursery place for a child under two, a survey by the Coram Family and Childcare charity has suggested.
