Nursery fees .......ouch

[GawdNurseryFees]

I’ve just got DSs invoice for this term (term time nursery not open in the holidays)

She goes for three full days split into six sessons (morning/lunch club/afternoon)

We provide lunch.

After her 15hrs are taken off the bill for the whole term is £994

£669 for her sessions
£240 for “lunch” (the 15mins between the morning and afternoon session)
£59 for French/Spanish (compulsory if they are there on a Monday morning)
£60 for snack

Does that all seem reasonable? It seems huge to me!

Sounds reasonable tbh if that's an entire term.

Are my sums right for that 15mins per day lunchbreak being costed at £21.33 per hour?!

For a term that doesn't sound that bad!

That is high, we got 30hrs free, DD does 4 days 8am-6pm, term time we pay 1 day a week at £43 a day and then £10.50 a week for breakfast, lunch, tea and snacks.

Non term time we pay £43 a day and no extra charges for food.

£22.08 per day ?

(15 weeks x 3 days a week = 45 days
£994 divided by 45 days = £22.08)

Sounds a complete bargain to me.

It seems a lot to me, with 22 (30 hours stretched) my monthly bill for 25 hours was
£75.

If we'd only had 15 hours free it would have been £240 a month

Last year DS did 4x 3 hour sessions at local pre-school, 15hrs wrap around with a childminder and 1 forest school session a week. All year, I paid a grand total of £0. All covered in the 30 funded hours. It’s crazy (and felt like a miracle after the days of £1200+ a month for 2 dc in nursery 3 days a week).

1000 -1100 a month for 4 full days depending on calendar.

Sounds about right to me.

Wowzers. Admittedly my experience goes back to 2004-2007 so a while ago. However, I paid 220pcm for 3 days a week. I was really fortunate as I had a nursery on site at my work. To put it into context, it was about 40% of the cost of the cheapest local nursery.
