Sending a child to a private boarding school from eight to eighteen can cost a staggering total of £230,000. Frightening isn’t it? And even if you’re only considering further education for your child, you need to prepare. Even now, the UK’s top universities are considering plans to charge student tuition fees.

On the positive side, if you were to start saving your monthly child benefit of £60 when your child is born, by the time he or she is 11, you would have saved £7,920. And, if the money were invested in an ISA or other savings contract it could be worth even more.
