The Cost of Childcare

BBC Radio Ulster - On Your Behalf, The Cost of Childcare

What support is out there to help you with childcare costs? 

As childcare providers report making losses and parents say they’re struggling to afford it, what’s the future for childcare in Northern Ireland? 

Some 70% of childcare providers are making a loss or just breaking even, meaning they could be at risk of closure, while 28% of parents have said they're having difficulties meeting the huge cost of having someone look after their children. We speak to a parent and Aoife Hamilton from Employers for Childcare. 

The case of the lost jewellery – Maria lost some valuables but was reassured to know they were insured. That’s until the insurance company asked for proof of ownership. 

Retail analyst Kate Hardcastle shares her thoughts on this year’s Black Friday sales. Are they worth the hype?

Is your rubbish worth £10,000? We speak to the Lord of Litter, Simon Jacobs, about how the Litter Lotto is encouraging people to pick up trash.
