Sibling Reductions

[Guest]

My nursery currently do not offer sibling reductions, and this is something that I would like to introduce.

 

For those of you who do, how much discount do you offer?

 

Also, when the older sibling leaves, does the younger sibling's fees increase or remain at the discounted rate?

We offer 10% sibling discount but this only applies whilst more than one child is within the setting. this discount is off everything including meals. We also offer a 50% discount to staff children and a 10% discount to emergency personnel staff (police Fire e.t.c)

Can I ask why you give a reduction for siblings? I never have done and was wondering why others did. I have always felt that it costs the same for two children to attend, so why would it be different for two from the same family? We had triplets last year, would you give 10% for both extra children?

As far as I'm aware, we offer 5% discount to eldest child (obviously, where all chn are in same setting!!!!!), which disappears when they leave - but this is different if there are subsequent siblings - I will attempt to check - IF I REMEMBER!!!!!

Linda - this is a Day Nursery consideration, given the relatively high rate of fees as opposed to Pre-school?

 

That was the rationale for my response - was I off on one, Shelley??

The nurseries in my area offer between 10% and 20% reduction for the 2nd child. You could probably check on you council website for other settings in your area.

we give 10% discount for eldest child, once that child leaves normal full fees are charged for remaining sibling, if we have more than two siblings in the setting then the eldest child only gets the discount, once that child leaves then next sibling in line will get discount.

we give discounts as loyalty type incentive for parents when booking more than one child in we had sextuplets within our setting and 5 of the 6 got 10% discount

Yes I am in a day nursery!

 

In the area we are based, parent's frequently would love to register their second child, but can't afford to.

we also give a 10% discount as an incentive to parents

Hi Shelley

 

We give a 10% discount for siblings, that is each child. If one leaves the other one carries on with 10% discount. This is as an incentive to stay with us. Staff also get a 10% discount. We also don't charge teachers from the school for the holidays.
