A childminder has said that costs are deterring people from going into the profession and the current childcare subsidy scheme does not go far enough.

The burden of childcare and domestic labor fell disproportionately on women, especially with married couples where both spouses were trying to work from home to avoid the virus.

Charities and childcare nurseries say they are furious that they face increases in their National Insurance bills, but are also powerless to raise their incomes.

Their proposals include suggestions for how to remove layers of regulation from childcare providers and expanding car seat choice so cars can fit more children.

Some people want to work but cannot, either because childcare is too expensive or they are not well enough.
