Families are facing a typical summer holiday club bill of £1,145 per child, a report has found.
On average, holiday childcare costs across Britain have risen by 5% in the past year, leaving working parents facing an average bill of nearly £191 per child per week.
This equates to around £1,145 for a six-week summer holiday, according to research by the Coram Family and Childcare charity.
That’s a rise of nearly £70 from last year’s average cost.
"Holiday childcare is essential for parents to take and stay in work but, for too many families, the six-week break brings a sharp increase in childcare costs," Coram Family and Childcare Head Lydia Hodges said.
