UK parents: have you left the workforce because of childcare issues? – The Guardian

We’d like to hear from parents who have decided to leave work because of the cost of childcare
The UK has the second most expensive childcare in the OECD – the cost of a nursery place for a child under two has risen from an average of £236 a week in 2018, to £274 in 2022.
We would like to hear from parents who have decided to leave work because of childcare issues.
Did your work change during the pandemic? How much have spiralling childcare costs been a factor? Has the increase in the cost of living crisis made a difference?
