'12 full weeks off school each year and we’re only allocated five weeks annual leave from work? It’s impossible!”
Just when working parents finally get their children into primary school and the burden of childcare is released a smidge, along comes the summer holidays.
“My daughter Grace is booked into the Drama Week at the Everyman Theatre. It’s an incredible experience for the children but it’s only from 10am until 4pm and costs £100 per week. Most of the summer holiday clubs cost over £100 per week, so that's £600 for childcare for each child over summer. A huge chunk from anyone's wage.
Between June 23 and July 4 2021 the TUC put out a survey to find out how working parents were going to manage childcare over the summer holidays. Over 36,000 parents responded. Nicole’s baby is only one and she worries about the school holidays already. She said: “Me and my partner were literally talking about it last night. We don’t know how we will manage. Luckily we have each other to share the load between us. I guess we’ll just use up our annual leave? I can’t begin to imagine how single parents cope!”
