A survey of 3,396 parents by Pregnant Then Screwed finds that for a quarter, the new two-year-old funding will save them less than £90 a month. One in five parents said they will save less than £50 a month.
The findings suggest that on average, parents will save between £100-£120 or up to £1,440 a year. ‘A far cry from the Government’s estimated savings of £6,500 a year once the offer is fully rolled out’, says the campaign group.
It backs earlier research by Pregnant Then Screwed that suggested the expanded offer with save a third of parents less than £100 a month.
