    I agree with this, but leaving your child in the care of others is not easy. A smart comany will invest in their staff and explore viable ways to retain them.

    This I find incredibly sad in a modern age, I guess it was the pre-tax credit era.
    It certainly was. Son was born early 2000. The current tax credit system came in in April 2003. No tax and NI relief on childcare vouchers back then either.

    Where I live though, even now there only seems 2 ways to work in a part-time office role, one is work in the public sector which seems to offer more flexibility than the private sector, the other is re-negotiate after maternity leave.
