alis2son Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 We had put off our fee increase whilst we decided on new premises but after 2 years of no increase in fees or wages its time for use to look at it again. Also i think since i will be effectively opening a new setting, i think its time to look at the sessions on offer too. So if some of you wouldn't mind sharing your general location, main sessions and costs i would be really grateful Location: Liverpool Sessions: 3yrs+ 8-9am £3.00 9-1pm/1-5.30 £12.10 9-4pm £20.50 f/s collection £13.10/18.80 8-5.30 £29.20 [*]3-5.30 £7.30 all prices inclusive of lunch and snacks Thanks Ali x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alis2son Posted July 5, 2011 Author Share Posted July 5, 2011 wow we wouldnt be able to stay open on £5 per session! thats so low. Is there anyone else more north-west? there's a lot of different prices there but i notice that the further south and more rural the areas are all leaning towards £4 per hour. wondering if theres so much difference up here too or if we're just a lot lower?

SennenSal Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 We charge £2.25 per hour with sessions 9-12, lunch club 12-1, afternoon session 12-3. I was asked by my EYPS assessor how we manage to survive. The answer is simple...poor wages! Sorry i'm feeling sorry for for the early years workforce at the moment, with the promise of so much, which has amounted to less than we had before! Very sad!

Guest Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 We are North west area. A preschool sessional playgroup charging £3.25 an hour, and really, no we can't afford to operate at that rate, but any higher and we will lose current families.

Hi Holly - would they go to 'rival groups' - are there groups in your area that have a cheaper rate? Or would they simply stop attending any pre-school provision?

Guest Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 In all honesty sunnyday it would be a combination of all three. We are seeing more and kore holding off until funding starts, more moving to school nurseries because "it gets them ready to start school" (roll eyes) and others being poached by rivals because they subtly imply school acceptance if they attend their EY setting. We have always been fiercely proud of our independence from all local schools (with good links with them all) and our unique offering of sessional opening but this seems to be working against us in the current economy climate.

suebear Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Interesting to compare the differences. We're sessions 2.5 hours at £7.50 and an hour lunch club at £2.50 so £10 for the full morning including lunch. Parents provide lunch and we provide snack.

We have to be careful that the funding stays in line with fees so that it isn't being used to support the children who pay, and we can be stopped from having NEG funded children if this is found to be the case ! As for the fees thing - non funded £4 an hour , funded £3.83 an hour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In our LA this was always taken to be against good practice but they don't go as far as saying what we can and cannot charge. A while ago we couldn't have charged the same or higher as we wouldn't have had any unfunded children. So it may vary between authorities.
