Latest data
Published
Last updated
A time series of mean and median hourly fees charged by childcare providers to parents for children under 2, broken down by provider type. Only a very small proportion of children aged under 2 are enrolled at school-based providers so figures for fees for under 2s enrolled at school-based providers are based on small sample sizes.
