How much does wraparound care cost??

Can anybody tell me how much they spend on childcare for school age children?

I have a 2 year old and a 5 month old and currently DH stays at home with them as I am going back to work. When they are school age it would be nice for him to find a job - but obviously if his earnings are heavily negated by wraparound care costs for 2 children, we may have to rethink.

I'm in Lincolnshire & its £12 a day here for before school (£4, from 7:45am) & after school (£8, until 5:45pm). In the holidays, its £25 a day with 20% discount for siblings.

A childminder who drops off and picks up from our school charges the same rate btw.

DD3 goes to breakfast club and afterschool club most days - it is £3.75 per hour (recently increased from £3.50). This includes drinks and snacks and a light meal, if they stay until 5 or beyond.
