Guest Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Hi Can anyone tell me how much the annual fee is for a pre-school registered llat year, open 4 hrs , term time only? When I do a search it just takes me to the gov gateway to pay. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thumperrabbit Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 We pay £50 too Sessional, church hall, term time only. I shall look into this I'm the same setting as you Rea - how can that be fair?! Could you let me know what you find please? I shredded the information sheet it came with! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rea Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I certainly will :1b 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyfs1966 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 £50 for me too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fredbear Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I'm sure ours is £35.00, will check tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rea Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I emailed Ofsted asking to know the different charges for different providers, I'm sure I saw a list years a go. All I can find online is fees for nannys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tish501 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Full daycare all year round...£220...!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouseketeer Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Why is it so much more for all year....or anymore really, it's the same inspection and they should be more grateful as it gives them something to do when the rest of us are closed for the holidays ;-P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodlands1997 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Ours is £220 too! Didn't realise there was such a difference!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarshaD Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Pretty sure I paid £35... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narnia Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 £220 here as well. Add that to the £250 our parish council charges us to play on the grass in front of our building, plus our insurance, rent etc.........................all adds up, doesn't it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thumperrabbit Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I've found it, ripped so apologies but hopefully you'll get the gist that the difference in charges is to do with when you were registered as a setting! But what's that got to do with the price of chocolate? I don't get why!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rea Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 (edited) Thats not fair!! I'm going to to Tweet and email :1b Edited March 11, 2015 by Rea 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaMum Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Sounds like discrimination to me. Don't understand what difference there is between registering before or after 2008 means? Certainly doesn't seem like equality here! We pay £50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rea Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Ofsted answered my email with this link https://www.gov.uk/register-childminder-childcare-provider/how-to-apply I'm not sure now, because our sessions are less than 3 hours but two days a week we have 2 sessions :huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inge Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 reading that it says Childcare providers on domestic or non-domestic premises pay a reduced fee of £35 for the Early Years Register if they work for less than 3 hours a day, or less than 5 days a week, or less than 45 weeks a year. note the OR bit.. surely worded like that you only have to have one of those criteria to comply with the lower fee..so being open less than 45 weeks a year would be the lower fee...( I must admit to arguing our case with this one years ago now and they eventually saw my issue and charged me the lower fee as we were only open 38 weeks, but it was all day from 9-3. ) plus no where on that does it give a £50.00 fee... but then that page only really refers to fees when registering.. not for those already registered.. The letter provided above.. does give different criteria for time open before and after sept 08. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouseketeer Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 We are the same 38 weeks 9-3 and £35 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thumperrabbit Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 We are 9:30-12:30 4 mornings a week term time only registered before 2008 Charged £50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouseketeer Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 How strange, we were also registered long before 2008 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rea Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I think those of us paying £50 should ask for written details as to why and print off the letter and the piece Ofsted linked me to. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blondie Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Ofsted answered my email with this link https://www.gov.uk/register-childminder-childcare-provider/how-to-apply I'm not sure now, because our sessions are less than 3 hours but two days a week we have 2 sessions :huh: i notice on that site there is a health declaration - it looks like for all people working with children as part of the ratio - are we able to do this?

eyfs1966 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 it appears that as with most things, Ofsted just couldn't make our lives more complicated!! What a daft system! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickyR Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 We are full day care and pay £220 a year; we were registered before Ofsted was even a twinkle in the governments eye!! *Sigh* Just another lot of money that is taken from us in exchange for a knock on the door and a whole load of pressure!! ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
