Background
Because the way of living has changed and we don’t live anymore in an era where we can afford to have one parent only looking after the child in his early stage of their life, and the other parent to carry the brunt of all costs. On average, childcare cost is equivalent to an individual’s average salary. The allowance that has just now been implemented in England was long due but regrettably this has not been the case in Wales or Scotland yet.
