how much is child care in southern UK?

Question

Can anyone tell me how much child-care (nursery) costs a week in the southern uk? (if the child is in nursery 5 days a week from 9 - 5)..

Answer 1

In the south west it depends on the age of your child. Im from the south west and we get 12 hours free off the goverment. Normal costs can range from 500-600 pounds a month if you child is under 3. You will be able to get tax credit help for these cast depending on what you earn.

Answer 2

The answer really depends on whether you're talking about a private nursery or a community nursery.
when I was looking for my daughter I was being quoted silly amounts like between £800 and £1000 a month (Private), I almost had a heart attack. Luckily I found a wonderful community nursery who charged £90 a week (a year ago). Its now £110 a week which isn't too bad, and this is before the childcare voucher is deducted (3-4 year olds). Its really pot luck, the best thing for you to do is to contact the local authority for wherever your enquiring about and ask them to send you a child care providers list.

Good luck

Nursery costs vary wildly and the South is of course the most expensive part of the country, like £160 a week, but don't forget you will get vouchers from your local council to help pay for childcare. A cheaper (and in my experience better) option is a childminder. Again, the cost varies from minder to minder, and according to the child's age, but it should be about £100 a week. Or if you have a spare room you could also consider getting an au pair to live in, which can be fantastic and it can be a nightmare. You have to pick your girl (or boy) very carefully, and please, please, use a good agency!

at the nursery my little girl goes to it costs £20 for the day that's two sessions in total 8am till 6 pm but as a student midwife i do get a bursery that pays a certain percentage, She's three yrs old and can already write her own name i would highly recommend mother goose nursery in margate my oldest daughter is seven she could write her name and read basic words by the time she started school and i feel this helped in the excellent progress that she has made.

Answer 7

i stay in the caribbean and it is not this style of behaviour one might see from an area. the eu human beings right here now i'm unable to declare yet I even have been to eating places in the night time and have considered foreigners having dinner with their young ones on the eating place. maximum human beings right here in the event that they like to have a drink they do at domicile if the babies are asleep or they simply hire a nanny to look after the babies mutually as the mothers and fathers dine out. i do think of it is extremely surprising that human beings dine out and circulate away young ones at domicile on my own. as a mom, i might in no way think of roughly doing this.
