Childcare Fees - pay for your own.

Why should we pay for other folks kids in childcare? My children didn't get subsidies and we made the concious decision that one of us would stay at home to care for them until they went to school.
What I think is fairest is that childcare fees should either be Tax deductible upto your personal allowance or the personal allowance should be fully transferable between Married Couples. Thus the no working partner doesn't lose their tax free allowance - the other partner gains the "lost" Tax. That is what bugs me - use it or lose it hence why people want to work. NOT working means effectively there is a job for someone else and the children get the best care at home.
DO these people NOT want their children Why have them if they want to work and put them in  care. They then hardly see them. Pick them up feed them and put them to bed. They see more of the carers than their parents.

Its also fair in the sense those who earn more still pay more Tax proportionately.
