More than a quarter of parents believe that they or their partner would be forced out of work without the support of a breakfast club, a Kellogg’s study into the role of breakfast clubs has found.

 

The company described the facilities as offering parents a “lifeline” after a survey of 2,003 working parents also found that 35% of parents felt using a breakfast club meant that they were able to have a more productive day at work, while 17% said that the service helped them feel less stressed in the mornings.

 

Kellogg's also suggested that the survey results show that facilities also offer value for money, with 20% of parents claiming that they save more than £50 a week by sending their children to a breakfast club. 15% of those surveyed said that without a breakfast club, their children would not get a proper breakfast.

 

Dave Lawlor, UK managing director for Kellogg’s, said: “Breakfast clubs are a vital resource to help working parents, saving millions in childcare costs and delivering benefits for employers across the UK. They are a lifeline, particularly for those parents on lower incomes.”
