Nearly two-thirds of working mothers do not have enough childcare for school summer holidays, according to a poll that points to a deepening crisis in the UK.
The poll by the Trades Union Congress (TUC) and the campaign group Mother Pukka involved more than 36,000 working mothers, and found that three in five expected to find managing childcare in the holidays more difficult this year.
The situation is more stark for single mothers, with three-quarters saying they would lack adequate childcare for the holidays.
