The cost of summer holiday clubs in the UK has surged, reaching an average of £1,076 per child, according to research by the children's charity Coram. Some areas have experienced price increases of up to 13%. This rise in cost puts additional strain on families, particularly those with multiple children or lower incomes, making it more difficult for them to access childcare during the summer break. The increased expense may also limit children's opportunities to participate in enriching activities and social interactions during the holidays.
