If you can’t afford to look after a child, don’t have one. It’s quite simple. Plan ahead, save, then decide if you can. Don’t just carry on and then moan that it’s expensive. It’s not the job of the state to pay for your child.
£76 Day I pay, using the child care tax account that works oht like £56, I think.
Welsh Labour is stated to target the “most disadvantaged communities in the first instance” but it’s an arbitrary post code lottery and for the vast majority of parents it brings their quality of living down rather than raise the poorest up.
I’m £6000 a year worse off due to this policy whilst those in England get it regardless. I’m seething when people complain at my nursery about ‘only getting 15 free hours’.
Having children is borderline a civic duty with the aging population problem we have in the UK. We need more children but the cost is the barrier. Wales is poor AF anyway so this doesn’t incentivise returning to work or even having children, unless you are in one of those golden postcodes.
And I understand that the policy is due to change but then it’s the health visitor making an assessment of whether you need the free hours or not. Amazing if your best mates with the health worker or heaven forbid you’ve worked and saved for a nice house. Hard work does not pay in Wales and it is not rewarded or incentivised, the governing parties in Wales keep us where we are because it doesn’t change their support at the polls.
This only makes people poorer.

2 days a week with pickup and drop off for 1 child costs me more than my rent in a month.
