Early years education for all children

A survey that has been made by the Daycare Trust Charity has given families awareness about the average cost of nursery fees across the United kingdom. 

In 2011 there have been reports from the BBC NEWS that the increase of children not benefiting from nurseries could lead to difficulties in the future. However, it is believed that children who have been kept at home by their care givers or family members wouldn't have many doors available opened for them when it comes to chasing their desires.

In addition  parents with low income have spoken out to the local press that they cannot afford to send their children to private nurseries as the cost has risen up to 6% over the last two years (2011). On the other hand only, 0.3% of wages has been increased. This will then make parents have no opportunities towards their children's education as they cannot do anything but to keep their children at home. This mostly applies to children who are under the ages of three years old.

The local government have arranged a meeting with some local campaigns were they have came to an agreement about "investing an extra £300 million to help families with childcare costs and increasing places in free early years education.''

The figures published by the Daycare Trust Charity funding has recently designed a survey for families. This will help to give viewers an insight about the total cost of child minders and nurseries for children to attend on an regular basis. In addition, it has recently been known that the cost of nurseries fees have risen up to 4 % over the last year (2012).

The figures of this survey have been analysed by the government and over the last year it has shown that 44,000 families are living on the dole and are finding it harder to put their children in education.

In 2012, the average cost for a part time nurseries for under two years old is more than £100 per week or even in a year the total price is £5,000. This is remarkably high for parents who have very low incomes as they would find it harder to make a living for the child. However, in London and southeast England the nursery fees are more expensive due to the increased population of the community as well as it being upmarket residential area.
