What do you think about high childcare costs? FT readers respond


We used to live in the UK, but moved to Sweden, one of the reasons being the expensive childcare.

In Sweden we pay circa £86 a month per child, and this includes three meals a day plus fruit, and the same goes in school.

Yes, taxes are high here (28-34% income tax), but so much is “free”, such as university and hospitals, while schools and nurseries cost very little. It’s stressful being a parent as it is, but to also have the economic stress is not fair on parents or children.

We hope the system in the UK will be reformed and modernised.
