Although Jenny has always been quite careful with money, she has recently made the decision to take her 18-month daughter out of nursery due to inability to balance the high costs of nursery with finding time to do volunteer work in order to maximise her job prospects. She plans to re-introduce her daughter to nursery once they qualify for free nursery place, as featured in new book ‘Invisible Britain: Portraits of Hope and Resilience’ by Paul Sng
