Childcare costs.some advice please

Question

Hi Can anyone tell me how much childcare is per day please? Im trying to work out if i should go back to work part time 3 or 4 days a week and claim working tax credits.................... Anyone give me any advice pl?

Answer 1

The cost differ depending on what type of child care you are looking for and the area where you live.

Nursery's are probably the most expensive option and if your child is under a year some nursery's charge more.

Childminders are probably the cheaper option but again price vary because they set their own rate.

If you live in the UK contact your local council and ask them to send you a list of register childcare providers in your local area both nursery and childminders. Some providers include their rate with their details, this should give you some idea

Hope this helps

Answer 2

I don't know about where you are but in Louisiana (where I am) most of the daycares won't do part time or if they do, you still have to pay the fulltime amount. It is usually around $90-$100 a week. You might can find a private sitter that will do it by the day. I would guess at around $20 a day.

Answer 3

child minders are cheeper most of the time and depending on where you are in the UK for nurseries you'll pay any where from 35 -45£ a day!!! way to expensive tax credit are tiny but you can get vouchers from your employer where as they take the child car straight out of your wage and then you only pay tax on your wage after its been taken out  that helps a great deal.

Answer 4

It really depends on where you live. I live in the midwest of the US, in a town of about 10,000 and child care is $2.00 to $3.00 per hour. Depends on part time or full time. Call your local chamber of commerce or human services and ask for a list of all the local daycares, then you can call them and ask if they have part time openings and what they charge. Good luck!

Answer 5

Hi well if you want someone say 7am-5pm 4 days a week then between £200-£300 a week (you would have to negotiate & depend on experiance/ age etc)

Answer 6

The costs differ from one day care center to the next.  It also depends on where you live.  Where I am from you can get a full day spot from as little as $15 a day to as much as $50.
