Annual Childcare Cost Survey 2008

This is the seventh annual childcare costs survey conducted by Daycare Trust.

This year’s survey shows that childcare costs continue to rise in England and Wales while costs in Scotland have slightly fallen. Families continue to face above-inflation price increases for their childcare bills and in spite of the increases in Government investment in childcare, parents continue to report a lack of affordable childcare in their area.
