Definitely, for me, the answer is yes. I have twins, so it was financially hard for me to put them both in at the same time, paying the same rates, and they were very high.
In my second year, I started at 7 a.m. and child care didn't open until 7:30, so it was a big barrier for me to have to find someone every morning to depend on so that I could go do my studies. Also, now in my career, we start pretty early and it's the same thing. None of them is open. If they are, or they're private independent child care services, they're very expensive.
