Child benefit would nowhere near cover a £200+ billborn_again said:
Would this not be what Child Benefit is for?HillStreetBlues said:
Totally agree. Also the Gov should be providing cover the full cost of the childcare, they seem to not to pay the providers enough leading some to close others to try and make up the shortfall elsewhere.Grumpy_chap said:
If the child was not in childcare, the parents would pay for the consumables.HillStreetBlues said:the Gov made clear it just pays the childcare cost not consumables, that would leave the parents to pay (you can't expect the providers to do it free).
The childcare providers should (IMO) only be charging for consumables on an "at cost" basis and not making a profit on this supply.2026 wins - Parker Pen, American Sweets bundle, dish magic bundle
