Families are increasingly finding it more difficult to cover the rising costs of childcare in England, a shocking analysis reveals, as research by the TUC finds childcare fees have risen three-times faster than average earnings since before the financial crisis.

TUC analysis shows that childcare fees for nursery age children have increased by 52% per week since 2008, while working parent’s wages have only risen by a measly 17% over the same period.
