Childcare Survey 2019

Authored by Lester Coleman and Josh Cottell

 

In its 19th annual Childcare Survey, Coram Family and Childcare reveal that the average price for 25 hours of nursery childcare for a child under two has risen by 3 per cent to £6,600 per year.

Most parents will be able to get some support with paying for their childcare, including from 30 hours funded childcare for three and four year olds with working parents in England, and Tax Free Childcare across the UK. While many families welcome this support with childcare costs, others may be missing out on the help that’s available because the system is so complex.
