About £650 for 3 full days in Yorkshire. But I'm not ready to talk about it yet and shall continue to live in denial.

I moaned to my friend once about the cost of childcare, her response was "well, you chose to have kids." Totally missed the point, it's 2022, women are supposed to be able to have it all!

Shall we remind her the same gender who uphold the majority childcare are usually paid minimum wage? Is that their fault as they chose that career? The whole system is fucked

Mate I'm scared of my own shadow and went to nursery, so I think this theory needs a bit more testing, or was my nursery broken?! Where can I claim compensation?!

A nursery I use to work in, that is close to the station that is 20 minutes from Waterloo (I’m south London) is £92 a day for under 2s and £90 for over 2s 🫠 with full time, you get a 5% discount, so you’re looking at £1700 for a month for an under 2. That’s not far off what I earn a month. 3yo preschool is £40 a day and that’s 9-3 term time only, so for 2.5 days for 1 term of 6-7 weeks, it’s over £700. I can’t wait until he gets his free hours come January

Imagine everyone decided to stop having kids because of the cost of childcare though. We’d have no one to look after us as an older generation and everyone in nurseries would be out of a job, I hate this rubbish argument people have.

Our nursery is £60 a day it went up from £55 cause of the cost of living crisis, ours is £765 a month for 3 days plus what we’ll pay MIL for the 2 days she has him

Is your MIL losing money to have baby b? Because I’m sure she can get something from the gov?

She retired from her main job to take a job with lesser hours 4 years ago and then our niece was born so she’s the family babysitter now
I could never expect her to look after baby B without paying her for it though when she could be a lady of leisure in her retirement

£275 a year what’s the point
 
We’re due to start nursery next Spring- SW London, one Baby under 2, full time 5 days a week. £1800 🫠 All the nurseries I looked at in our area ranged from £1600-£2800 which is terrifying. I don’t really understand how people afford it to be honest.
