布里吉特·菲利普森要求審查隱藏的育兒費用影響家長
Aletha Adu p · 2026-05-25 · via The Guardian

教育大臣布里奇特·菲利普森,正下令對隱藏的兒童保育費用進行競爭審查,由於擔心家長在政府旗艦項目擴大資助兒童保育時長的背景下仍被收取額外費用。

菲利普森已致信競爭與市場行為監管局。 (CMA) 要求其檢查包括不可退款的存款、強制附加費用以及政府資助兒童保育設施的限制等實踐。

部長表示,仍有過多父母被要求支付額外費用以確保他們的孩子能進入托兒所,包括預付存款、額外付費時長以及基礎費用,如尿布、餐食和太陽乳。

菲利普森的介入發生在凱爾·史塔默政府的政府尋找方法來緩解家庭預算壓力之時,隨著伊朗戰爭持續影響全球各個家庭,部長們擔心家庭是否真的感受到政府支持套裝的福利。

星期四,大學長雷切爾·里夫斯宣布了一項「夏日大省錢」計劃,措施包括八月兒童免費搭巴士以及取消餅乾、巧克力、乾果等基本食品的關稅。政府也將暫時的燃料稅減免額延長。

儘管夏日儲蓄計劃的價值達到3億英鎊,但包括解決方案基金會在內的多個智库建議,富裕家庭將比貧困家庭更享受政府干預帶來的更多利益。

政府表示,符合資格的家庭現在透過資助的兒童保育時數,平均每個孩子每年可節省8,000英鎊,超過50萬家庭受益於該計劃。

但由教育部委託的Ipsos民意調查顯示,近四分之三的家長都在動用他們的儲備金來彌補額外的育兒費用。超過四分之一的人表示,在調查中認為可負擔性仍然是獲取他們需要的育兒服務的最大障礙。

「我長大於一個知道如何精打細算的家庭,」菲利普森說。

「我為30小時的兒童照顧計劃對家庭財務產生的重大影響感到非常自豪,平均每個孩子每年可節省8000鎊。」__JHSNS_SEG_5c54212b_11__「絕大多數的托兒所和保姆在幫助我們實現目標方面做得非常出色,但我絕不接受少數人讓家庭失望,阻止他們獲得他們所承諾的福利。」

CMA 也被要求評估所有權模式的作用,包括私募股權,以及它們是否導致成本上升或為依賴地方幼兒園服務的家庭創造風險。

監管機構預計將審視更廣泛的市場壓力,包括育兒的可及性、「冷點」區域、供應商使用的交叉補貼模式,以及對於試圖使用此系統的父親來說信息的透明度。

勞工黨繼續推廣免費兒童照顧服務,該服務最初在里希·蘇納克政府時期宣布,後來擴展至符合資格的上班族父母,從孩子滿九個月大開始,直到他們開始上學。這項政策每年約耗資90億英鎊。

政府官員亦正推出一款新的網上生活成本工具,旨在幫助家長了解他們有權獲得的兒童照顧支援,以及如何估算費用和尋找本地供應商.

一張兒童照顧地圖正在索美塞特郡北部、巴斯、布里斯托和南格洛斯特郡進行試點,預計今年稍後將在全國範圍內推廣。
