Childcare costs are bouncing back around the country, despite the federal government pledging billions of extra dollars to try to improve out-of-pocket costs for families with young children.

An analysis of new economic data shows that even though there was a sharp dip in the third quarter of 2018, childcare costs climbed steadily over the following nine months.

Nicole Wade sends her son three-year-old son William to daycare in Sydney's Ryde, where fees recently increased from $145 to $150 a day.

William currently goes two days a week and Ms Wade would like to send him for three but, even with about a 50 per cent government subsidy, the sums don't add up. Even if she worked an extra day, by the time Ms Wade factors in the extra day of fees, plus after school care fees for her six year-old daughter, "it's not viable for our family".
