Sharing our thoughts on the NISRA Childcare Survey 👇🧵 📰 The headline: According to the NISRA Childcare Survey, the average payment for 41+ hours of childcare (full-time childcare) is £600 per month. But we need to look at the fine print... 👀 x.com/Education_NI/s…

👀 The fine print: In cases where a child is spending two days with a grandparent or relative and three days in nursery, the child will be included in the 41+ hours per week band for example - but may only be paying for part of that time. 🧵
