Hi all, would be very interested to hear from other parents who have experienced the same thing.
Feeling APPALLED & OUTRAGED!!! My Nursery bill for my 4 year old son has gone up by over 60% since January!!!! I don't feel that this is fair or reasonable or that it was communicated in advance clearly at all.
Despite what myself and several other parents were told, this has nothing to do with 'new government legislation' & our bills will not 'even out of the year'.
After months of battling over emails, the Managing Director has now suggested I remove Jack from nursery.
How can they be allowed to increase prices so much mid way through the year??!!!
I have arranged my working patterns around Jack attending 4 mornings & will struggle to find alternative provision; not to mention the fact I don't want to cause him upheaval & disruption so close to him finishing there.
I think this will strike a chord with many of your readers who are struggling with the cost of childcare.
How are hard working parents expect to be able to work, even part time hours with a 60% increase to our childcare costs?
Kiddicarru is a national organisation with nineteen branches country wide. So it won't be only Northampton parents who are being ripped off.
I have piles of email correspondence which clearly demonstrates the company's appalling customer service & where they have failed to be transparent. I am taking this up with the media, my MP, the council....
In summary;
A 60% increase to fees is a disgrace. This should not be legally possible. Hiding the change, refusing to reply or confirm the change & then requesting that our child be removed from the nursery after we complain.
