How to cut your childcare bill as nursery fees top £1,000
Data from UK Debt Expert reveals families are now spending more than ever on childcare - with London parents paying as much as £1,431.96 a month. For lower-income households, a single day of childcare can cost over seven hours of work, meaning many are essentially paying to work. Even in less expensive areas like the North East, parents are still looking at around £945.50 per month for childcare. For information see the link below 📷 For information on how to book Kids Clubs & Wraparound Care please use this link - The financial reality is pushing many parents, particularly mothers, to their limits – and for single parents, the situation is even more extreme. When other living expenses are factored in, the financial picture becomes even more daunting. For a family of four: Add to this the average monthly mortgage repayments, which range from £1,565 in Manchester to £2,227 in Bristol for a semi-detached house, and it's clear why many couples are delaying or deciding against having children. While both parents feel the financial strain, it's women who often bear the brunt of the career impact. Women are more likely to take extended time off work or reduce their hours to care for children, leading to what's often referred to as the "motherhood penalty" in their career progression and earning potential. If you pay for childcare, whether just for the summer or all year round, watch this quick video briefing on the help that's available. Huge numbers are missing out. Courtesy of ITV The Martin Lewis Money Show, watch the full summer special back at In fact, research from the Institute for Fiscal Studies shows that by the time a woman's first child turns 12, her hourly wage is typically 33% lower than that of a man. Maxine McCreadie, a personal finance expert at UK Debt Expert, says: "The data paints an even more worrying picture for single parents, who are often facing the brunt of the financial burden. "Unlike co-parents, single parents don't have the luxury of splitting costs, meaning they are often forced to take on the full financial load for housing, childcare, and everyday living expenses. With 9 out of 10 single parents being women, it's no wonder more women are deciding not to have children, and it's essential that more support is provided, particularly as these families are more vulnerable to falling into debt." Further data from UK Debt Expert highlighted that for parents earning £16,000 per year, a single day of childcare requires over seven hours of work, compared to just 3.3 hours for someone earning the national average of £2,397 a month. This stark disparity highlights the heavier burden on lower-income parents, who must juggle childcare expenses with other essential costs, often leaving little time or money for social activities. Read Martin Lewis's open letter to the new Chancellor to fix unfair systems... on Child Benefit, Carer's Allowance, LISA fines, Tax-Free Childcare and morehttps:// Maxine explains: "The high cost of childcare not only limits a parent's financial flexibility but also their ability to maintain a social life. For lower-income families, the pressure to prioritise work and childcare leaves little room for social engagement, which can lead to feelings of isolation, especially for single parents or those in lower-paid jobs." This comes as Bridget Phillipson has called on Brits to consider having more children and have them sooner, warning of the 'worrying repercussions' posed by a decline in birth rates. The Education Secretary told the Daily Telegraph falling birth rates were not only a concerning trend but one which 'tells a story, heartbreakingly, about the dashed dreams of many families'. Official data from the Office for National Statistics shows fertility rates in England and Wales dropped to 1.44 children per woman in 2023, the lowest level since records began in 1938. Ms Phillipson said people were scared off having children due to the high costs, and wanted 'more young people to have children, if they so choose'. 'A generation of young people have been thinking twice about starting a family, worried not only about rising mortgage and rent repayments, wary not only of the price of fuel and food but also put off by a childcare system simultaneously lacking in places and ruinously expensive,' she said. Ms Phillipson's comments come months after she told the Daily Mail young women had been given added 'freedom' to have more children by expanded government-funded childcare. For information see the link below 📷 For information on how to book Kids Clubs & Wraparound Care please use this link - Since May, working parents of children who turn nine months old before September 1 have been able to apply to access up to 30 hours of free childcare per week, until their child is old enough to start school. 'They will be able to make choices about the career that's right for them, the hours that they want, but also [have] the freedom to think about family size and how many children they want to have, with support from the Government around childcare hours,' she said in May. Recommended reading: The expansion of funded childcare began being rolled out in England in April last year for working parents of two-year-olds. Working parents of children older than nine months are currently able to access 15 hours of funded childcare a week, before the full rollout of 30 hours a week to all eligible families in September. The Labour Government announced that up to 4,000 childcare places are set to be rolled out at new or expanded school-based nurseries in England from September.

Martin Lewis urges people to lock in energy fix to avoid overpaying on new price cap
The consumer champion warns two-thirds of homes in Scotland, England and Wales are on the 'Pants Cap'. Martin Lewis is urging people on the price cap to switch to a fixed tariff as they will probably be overpaying on energy bills this summer, despite the seven per cent drop in gas and electricity prices. Writing in the latest edition of the MoneySavingExpert ( newsletter this week, the consumer champion shared a comprehensive guide to lowering your energy bills by a further 10 per cent. He explained that some two-thirds of homes in Scotland, England and Wales are on their energy supplier's 'bog-standard default tariff, which means its price is dictated by the regulator, Ofgem's Price Cap'. Along with comparable fixed tariff deals, the financial guru answers the most common questions and concerns people have about moving off the price cap, something he has dubbed the 'Pants Cap'. Martin wrote: 'The good news is that the Price Cap has been cut by 7 per cent today, meaning for every £100 you were paying, for the same energy use you'll now roughly pay £93. 'Yet that's still 10 per ecnt higher than this time last year, and the current prediction is it won't get much cheaper. So, frankly, the Price Cap still looks like a Pants Cap - if you're on it, you're likely overpaying.' You can work your way through Martin's full step-by-step guide to lowering your energy bills and locking in the best deal on here. Energy bills have fallen for households as latest forecasts predict a further on eper cent drop in October due to easing Middle East tensions. Analyst Cornwall Insight expects the cap to fall to £1,698 a year from the current £1,720 for a typical dual fuel consumer, but stressed 'significant uncertainty' remained with two months until the final figure is announced. The price cap sets the limit on how much firms can charge customers per unit of energy, but does not limit total bills because householders still pay for the amount of energy they consume. The latest cap is £660 (28%) lower than at the height of the energy crisis at the start of 2023 when the UK Government implemented the energy price guarantee. However, prices remain elevated at £152 or 10 per cent higher than the same period last year. Cornwall Insight said its latest forecast reflected wholesale prices falling as military tensions in the Middle East had eased. But it said the cap still remained hundreds of pounds above pre-pandemic prices, even when adjusting for inflation. Furthermore, there was little indication that prices would reduce substantially over the next few years, it warned. It is predicting a further small fall in January, with prices rising slightly in April, but said market volatility, geopolitical risks and potential changes - and additions - to the non-wholesale components of bills meant forecasts remained changeable. Cornwall Insight principal consultant Craig Lowrey said: 'While any reduction in energy bills is welcome, we must not let small fluctuations in the price cap mask the bigger picture. 'Households are still paying far more for their energy than they were before the pandemic, with the current outlook showing little prospect of a meaningful drop over the next few years. 'Our reliance on international energy markets means that while we have a range of supply sources, this brings with it a vulnerability to global events and price shocks – something that was evident in June. If we want to bring real stability and affordability to the energy system, we need to continue, and speed up, our transition to homegrown, renewable power. 'This transition will not happen overnight, and there will be short-term costs along the way. However, in the long-term, building a more self-sufficient energy system is the only way to help shield consumers from international volatility and put us on a more secure and sustainable path for the future.'
