Each year Daycare Trust conducts a survey of local authority Family Information Services (FIS) to find out about childcare costs in Britain. The information collected from these surveys allows us to monitor changes in childcare costs across different years. It also allows us to identify differences in childcare costs between regions and countries in Britain. This year's survey, the eleventh in the series, found significant increases in childcare costs at a time when parents are facing cuts to the financial support they receive from central government, as well as rising prices across other goods and services.
