Conservative 30 hours of childcare offer

David Cameron has announced that working parents of 3-4 year olds given 30 hours of free childcare a week. he says it comes on top of the tax free childcare policy which they say will save families £5,000 in total.

Mr Cameron said: “So we say to the working parents of three and four-year-olds: £5,000 of savings for you only with five more years of Conservatives in government that’s for working people in our country.”

However according to the Family and Childcare Trust Childcare Costs Survey families are now spending £1,533 more on childcare this year than they did in 2010 due to rising nursery costs.
