Federation of Small Businesses calls for business rates to be scrapped for nurseries

In News EYFS on

As we have discussed before on the FSF the business rates re-evaluation that happened last year created significant increases for many non-charity run early years settings. With the increasing costs of minimum/living wage, pensions and consumables many providers are struggling to make ends meet. Following research, the Federation of Small Businesses has published its report 'Handle with Care' which clearly sets out the impact that government policy is having on early years. They are calling for nurseries to be removed from business rates in an effort to ensure the sustainability of the sector. You can read how this has been reported in the press here: Nursery World and The Times. Join in on this thread to talk about how this would affect your setting.
