In Kildare, parents are facing some of the highest monthly fees for creches in Ireland.
According to an Irish Independent survey of 220 private childcare facilities, parents face a monthly cost of €1,400 for full-day care, placing it among the more expensive regions.
The survey revealed that south Dublin holds the record for the most expensive creche, with a staggering monthly fee of €1,578 per child for full-day care.
