Childcare problems remain so acute that tens of thousands of parents are now juggling work and minding their kids and needing grandparents’ help.
The Department of Children has been told in a new study, which it commissioned, that costs remain inaccessible across a wide-range of children’s age groups.
The research states that “almost 50% of parents using non-parental care for children, [who are] not yet in school, found it difficult to pay for it”.
