This. If we put my son in for a similar amount of time it would be somewhere over £800/month even with his 'free' hours. In an area so notoriously The Most Deprived Town in Britain that YouTubers make a fortune off it, and some of us voted for Nigel Farage.

I don’t particularly want to pick on this person so have cropped it, but with the “free” provision of 30 hours a week, for one child, for four days a week of care, we pay more than £1000 a month for nursery. Nobody who is not currently paying for childcare understands how much it costs. By design.
