Poll: Do you think preschool prices are fair in New Zealand?

Renee Clayton Reporter from Rodney Times

According to an OECD report, New Zealand is one of the most expensive places for childcare.

It is said that Kiwi families have to pay some of the highest amounts for childcare in the western world, second to the United Kingdom.

In New Zealand, two-parent families are spending 29 per cent of their incomes on daycare, and in the U.K they are spending around 33.8 per cent!
