Almost one in five parents are being forced to cut down their work days while others are having to quit their jobs entirely to take care of their children due to a crippling increase in nursery fees, a survey has found.
The poll, commisionned by credit reference service Credit Karma, also revealed that a quarter of parents (24 per cent) are having to shell out a further £110 a month for childcare, while also shouldering increases in food, energy and other household bills.
