One protester says she pays £1,500 for her two children for three days a week - including the free hours she gets for her eldest
Ms Chapman pays £1,500 for her two children for three days a week - including the free hours she gets for her eldest."I can't justify paying for an extra day of childcare, it doesn't make financial sense," she said."It pushed me back and made me think to leave work because almost 100% of my salary was allocated to nursery fees and it got me thinking maybe I should not work and just raise my kid myself," she told Sky News.
She said:"We've got a cost-of-living crisis and an economy that isn't growing. You can't solve either of those challenges without investing in childcare. Speaking at the protest in central London, organiser Joeli Brearley encouraged the crowd to"force to listen" to the voices of mothers. "When the policymakers finally do something... they'll pretend it was all their idea, but we will remember this moment."TV presenter Katie Quilton branded the pressure put on working mothers as"insane".
