Yet another fee increase

Our nursery increased their fees in July by 10% and over the weekend we've had an email from them to say that they've made a decision to bring forward next year's fee increase to February and it'll be another 10%!

I don't know what we're going to do, our son only attends two days a week because that's the only availability the nursery had and it's going to increase to over £600 a month.

Neither myself or my husband have had pay increases, there's no other childcare in the area and I feel like crying because everything is increasing apart from our wages

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I'm in your situation. Everything going up but income. 10% increase this year, dreading next year. We can just cover it by not saving and cutting everything else possible. Thank goodness we only have less than two years before she starts school, otherwise it wouldn't be worth working any more.

Ouch, sorry op. No advice but I do sympathise.
