The Bar Council has agreed its second partnership deal to offer barristers reduced childcare fees. Barristers and staff in Leeds will be able to get discounted rates at the Tiny Tree Day Nursery. The nursery provides flexible full-time and part-time childcare between 7.30am and 6pm with the ability to extend to 7pm. A similar arrangement with a nursery in London’s Smithfields began in 2013.
