	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/04/2014 answer text <p>The Department for Education uses cost information from a number of independent surveys. The Family and Childcare Trust (formerly the Daycare Trust) has published a Childcare Costs survey annually since 2002. Survey information is available on: <a href="http://www.familyandchildcaretrust.org/childcare-costs-surveys" target="_blank">http://www.familyandchildcaretrust.org/childcare-costs-surveys</a> or by contacting the Family and Childcare Trust. Their findings on the costs of childcare for children aged two and over in England since 2005 are shown in the tables below.</p><p> </p><p>Cost of 50 hours care for nursery, 2005 - 2009</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Family and Childcare Trust Survey</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Weekly Hours of Childcare</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Nursery (2 and over)</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2005</p></td><td><p>50</p></td><td><p>£132.00</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2006</p></td><td><p>50</p></td><td><p>£135.00</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2007</p></td><td><p>50</p></td><td><p>£140.00</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2008</p></td><td><p>50</p></td><td><p>£149.00</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2009</p></td><td><p>50</p></td><td><p>£156.00</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>From the 2010 survey onwards, the hours of weekly childcare used in the cost survey was changed from 50 hours a week to 25 hours a week. This was because the Trust believed that the lower figure was a more accurate reflection of typical childcare usage.</p><p> </p><p>Cost of 25 hours care for nursery, 2010 – 2014.</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Family and Childcare Trust Survey</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Weekly Hours of Childcare</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Nursery (2 and over)</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2010</p></td><td><p>25</p></td><td><p>£82.00</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2011</p></td><td><p>25</p></td><td><p>£94.00</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2012</p></td><td><p>25</p></td><td><p>£98.75</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013</p></td><td><p>25</p></td><td><p>£106.52</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014</p></td><td><p>25</p></td><td><p>£106.19</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 10/04/2014 12:00:00 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss
