To wonder why if there are calls to cap rents,

[Eliza9919]

why there aren't any to cap childcare costs at a reasonable level?

Surely if costs were capped/there were government nurseries, people would have more money to spend and therefore boost the economy etc?

Because I should be allowed to lay more for a place at a decent nursery. I appreciate the work my sons nursery does for him. I want the staff to be well paid, I want the nursery to be well resourced, I want the people who own it to be fairly renumerated so that they don’t take their capital elsewhere. I value it highly and pay a price that reflects the value I place on the service.

Also disagree with the schools point. In contrast to school fees nursery is a bargain.
