Is there sufficient childcare in your area for parents who work outside normal office hours?
58 per cent of parents struggle to meet up-front childcare costs
15 September 2009
For many parents, the requirement to pay up-front childcare costs including fees in advance, deposits, retainers and administration fees to secure a place with a childcare provider creates a significant barrier to starting or returning to work.
The Childcare Advance project, funded by the Friends Provident Foundation, investigates the help currently available to families when faced with up-front childcare costs, the extent to which parents experience difficulty meeting these costs and models potential options for a sustainable scheme offering financial help to parents with these costs.
