The Parent Hack For Cheaper Childcare

People Fixing The World

Available for over a year

Parents struggling with childcare costs in London are banding together to care for each other’s kids. They run a super-cheap nursery where mums and dads take on half of the childcare. It’s a throwback to the childcare movement of the 1970s but can it work in the modern age? Presented by Sahar Zand. Produced by William Kremer. Image: Drawing of a family / Credit: BBC
