Had an interview last nite for spot in spring and parents were debating going back to work after 18mnths mat leave or 12 months,. Spring would be 12 months. They have to make that personal decision on their own of course but I thought later that going back early doesn't get you much farther ahead financially does it? Mat leave you get about 60% salary but no childcare fees vs full salary but paying childcare. Is it even worth going back early then (I pondered to myself!)... Tx
