$700 per month. Those are rookie numbers. Come to the UK where childcare is £2k per month.
The UK system gives mediocre benefits and also penalises you if one of you makes >100k a year.

Oddly it has conditioned many friends who were stauch opponents of private schools (waste of money and only generates entitled poorly educated people) to feel more comfortable with paying the cheaper private school fees for primary school (or they took one look at the public alternative and realised the reality)
My local nursery is also owned by Private Equity and was just rated inadequate by Ofsted due to high staff turnover (clearly paying peanuts).
I daren't think about what it'd cost if you had 3 kids under 5 years old!
This is London zone 2
But to be fair, the cost of living is quite high where I live. New build condos are going for $1 mil. Downtown apartments go for $2.5k/mo.
