thumperrabbit Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/become-a-registered-early-years-or-childcare-provider-in-england Page 8 informs us of another jump in costs in 2017 which I wasn't aware of!
MegaMum Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 Am I reading this right? From September 2017 our registration fee is jumping from £50 to £220. Have they gone mad? That's over a 300% increase!!!! 2
MegaMum Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 Full daycare, fair enough. We are a 3 hour sessional pre-school.

lsp Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 It's not easy to understand. What about the £35 rate - will that go up as well? What is the difference between childcare providers and providers of childcare?
narnia Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 ok,I have paid £220 for years. BUT today i received this year's bill..........and it's for £50, because we registered before 2008????????????? 1
thumperrabbit Posted January 14, 2016 Author Posted January 14, 2016 Left hand & right hand not speaking again?! :lol:
lsp Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 Well we meet criteria for £35 but just received bill for £50!!!!!
tish501 Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 ok,I have paid £220 for years. BUT today i received this year's bill..........and it's for £50, because we registered before 2008????????????? We were registered in 2004..always paid 220...
Rafa Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 It's time Ofsted got their act together! Can't agree more and really feel that we should start standing up to Ofsted as their service is more than inadequate, I was de-registered last year - I had moved, informed Ofsted and obviously my details were not updated. so they literally struck me of! When I didnt pay registration fee on time. My LEA informed me - said funding will not be paid - WHAT??! I managed to get re-instated (though I ask myself why I bother) and that was that..........This year I get same phone call from LEA - de-registered again!! Once again this was Ofsteds fault, wrong house number imported into their computer - bearing in mind I have only just filled in that wretched email form - they said letters were returned 'not at this address'. Ummmm do you not think they could have phoned me or emailed me - these details were correct? They did'nt even try to contact my Manager - they have her details on their new shiny form! I agree with Thumper - they do not care about sessional settings at all - they would have been quite happy to see this 20year old setting collapse after funding is withdrawn, all because they cannot get the basics right!! And B***dy Hell, we have just been fighting the government re-costs, and then they put our fees up 300%!?!?! WE CANNOT AFFORD IT!! Especially for such a p*** poor service such as it is! 5
lynned55 Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 So are you saying from September 2017- groups such as ours, that registered prior 2008 and qualify as sessional, will see their fee go from £50 - £220?

That's how I read it; but then it could've been written to baffle us :wacko: have a look at page 8
