00:00 Well that's fantastic. I mean how much will that help people? The cost of living is so much and
00:05 people are going back to work and I'm sure by the time some people are paying their child care
00:09 it's almost not worth some of them going back to work and if that could help people get back
00:14 to going back to work it's amazing but I'm not quite sure at the minute what Wales offers.
00:20 Definitely I've got a five-year-old and I found it so difficult when I went back to work with her
00:26 at the age she was. I was relying on my grandparents to have her and they were in their 80s
00:31 and a lot of the time I wasn't earning as much as it would cost to pay for her to go to nursery
00:39 so it would benefit not working if you were going to pay for private nursery so I think
00:44 Wales definitely need to do more for that. I think that it should be for even maybe even
00:49 like nine months or so because once you like you've left your maternity pay is gone it's a
00:55 struggle then isn't it and you feel that you need to go back just to sort of pay your bills.
