Amy Childs reveals eye-watering amount of money she pays for nursery care – ahead of the birth of twins
PREGNANT Amy Childs has revealed that she spends a lot of money per day on nursery fees for her four year old son Richie.
The Towie star, 32, who is due to give birth to twins on 26 April, said in her weekly OK! magazine column that she pays £100 a day for her son as he is not in school yet, unlike her daughter Polly who is now five.
She said: “At the moment, Rich gets 15 hours childcare for free, but I do think about the mother mums out there who haven’t got additional childcare such as their mums and have to do everything by themselves.”
She added: “The new Spring Budget plans will be amazing for mums like that as they definitely need the extra support.”
Amy, who shot to fame in 2010 when she joined the cast of The Only Way Is Essex, first starting dating First Dates star and gym owner Billy Delbosq in 2021, following her split from her ex Tim.
The reality TV star had met Tim during lockdown and was in a relationship with him for nearly two years. But following a series of rows, the pair called time on their relationship.
The soon to be mum of four continued: “Nursery fees are an absolute fortune. To put Rich through nursery, I’m looking at about £100 a day, and that’s for seven hours. He goes in at 9am and I go pick him up at 5 o’clock. It’s a lot of money, especially when Polly was there as well.”
Amy has imposed a social media ban as she reveals that she could go into labour at any time.
The Essex born star took to Instagram and shared with that it was her “last social day” on March 21. On her video, she said: “This is my last content day for the next couple of weeks.”
