'We paid £600 a month': Parents' views on childcare

How much do you pay for childcare?

Working parents of three and four-year-olds can get 30 hours free childcare a week under a Welsh Government flagship policy.

But figures show there has been a multi-million pound under spend in a pilot of the scheme - which local authorities said was down to a lack of uptake.
