Original Note:
In many cases the hourly rate paid by the government to childcare providers does not cover the full cost of the childcare. Most providers will therefore increase their hourly rates or ask for "top-up" payments. A quarter of parents said they cannot afford top-up payments. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-62036045 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-68700530 https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/jeremy-hunt-free-childcare-budget-nurseries-b2508582.html
