Nursery is a strawman here as many families are spending what amounts to almost the wife's entire income on nursery fees to allow her to go back to work after mat leave.
Private school is a choice, nursery isn't (unless you want a 5 year career break).

Which means they are able to get by on one income. I would say that is comparatively rich.
If our youngest went to nursery full time it'd be £18k p/a post tax. I'm sorry but however you want to frame my argument, being able to afford that makes you extremely privileged. Given less than a quarter of mothers go back to full time work I'm happy to stand by my strawman.

Isn't that part of what's been discussed over the last few pages even before this discussion?
Obviously anyone who can afford full time private childcare is comparatively rich - be that nursery or private school.
