Have you ever wondered what childcare looks like in different countries around the world? Do you think we pay too much for our childcare here in the UK? In this post, we take a look at childcare in five different countries across the globe. Which of these countries do you think has the best childcare?

If you fail your GCSEs, it's not the end of the world. Instead, you can enrol onto a Functional Skills course in Maths, English or even ICT. Level 2 is equivalent to a grade C.
