lynned55 Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Currently our funded 2 year olds get £6 per hour ( 3 & 4 get £3.60) but from September this is going down to £5.50 per hour. As I understood it this is happening to all boroughs and is a reduction from central govt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildflowers Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 I increase fees and wages with the same percent every autumn, in line with inflation (somewhat, as it fluctuates). Parents are informed about this when joining. A way to avoid complicated discussions perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anju Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Our fees are going up a little: £5.15 ph from £5.00 per hour for 2 year olds (funded rate is £5.15ph and we have lots of funded 2s coming) £4.60 ph from £4.50 for 3 & 4 year olds' extra hours No one has objected so far. Our funding rates are very difficult to express as an hourly rate because we get an annual deprivation sum based on the January headcount but the actual amount this works out at per hour over the base rate depends how many children we end up with each term. We usually have enough 3 and 4s and I prefer not to have too many younger ones as in my experience they need a HIGHER than 1:4 ratio (don't get me started on the Minister's plans to make this 1:6) so they are, frankly, very expensive.
