How I manage my childcare: Nursery for twins costs £2.5k so I have to look after my children while I work‘At £600, nursery is still our third largest monthly outgoing behind our mortgage and transport – and that’s just for two days a week,’ says Shay CorriganAugust 23, 2022 7:00 amseries we aim to find out how people across the UK handle the logistics and cost of having children.
Our twins started nursery a month ago. When looking at the options, a lot of the nurseries we just physically couldn’t afford because with twins it is double the fees. To put them both full time in the places that were immediately available would have cost upwards of £2.5k a month. Then one day a week we rely on my mum travelling from Birmingham to look after them. She’s a freelancer so she loses about £150 of work on those days.
It does sometimes get a bit hectic when I’ve got full days of calls. On those occasions it tends to be a lot of well-timed nap times to fit in with stuff that needs urgent attention. We just have to keep the twins in such ato make sure that that’s possible. My direct line manager is really supportive whenever we need time out for medical appointments.
