Excerpts from report:

This is the seventh annual holiday childcare costs survey conducted by Daycare Trust. This year's survey shows considerable cost increases in almost all parts of Britain - in particular England, but with costs in all three nations rising ahead of inflation.

…

The overall average regional holiday childcare cost for England stands at £91.56 per week, a large rise of 10.1% since last year. This was almost double the rate of increase in Wales, and slightly higher than the rise in Scotland.

…

The costs survey reports the shockingly high costs of holiday childcare in Britain, however, it should be acknowledged that there is a difference between the fees charged and the actual amount that parents pay. The government provides several types of funding to reduce the amount that parents have to pay.
