Families ‘face typical £1,145 bill per child for holiday clubs over summer’

Families are facing a typical bill of £1,145 per child for holiday clubs over the summer period. According to Coram Family and Childcare, the cost for six weeks of a holiday club is, on average, £726 more expensive than six weeks of after-school childcare. This data highlights the significant financial disparity between standard term-time childcare and the specialised provision required during the summer break, placing a substantial monetary burden on parents and guardians.
