Paying for ChildCare:
What can you realistically afford? The cost of childcare varies considerably depending on they type you choose, availability on your area, your geographical location and the age of your child.
It may seem expensive, and childcare costs can account for a large part of the family budget, but where the safety and well-being of your child is concerned, it is worth the best you can afford.

You will need to work out the cost of your preferred choice of care and how much you can afford each month, taking into account the financial help you are entitled to.
