Nursery costs

[Sayhellotothethings]

What is the going rate? I have been told £60 per day plus lunch fees is reasonable but I think it is on the high end. Plus lunch costs.

Ours is £67 per day for an under 2 including lunch.

Sorry, writing that post in a tired daze so repeating myself.

I was talking to some friends about this and it depends entirely where you live. A chain like Busy Bees can be £55 a day in the midlands or £103 in Hertfordshire.

It depends where you are. for us (SW) £65 a day is average. for my SIL in the northeast, its more £45

£57 a day in nice part of Manchester. Includes all food only thing is nappies

We pay £48 a day for our 2.5yr old at a Busy Bees in Shropshire.

South East £55 day includes all food including snacks, all nappies and wipes and uniform given at the start

Are you in London?
We are just outside and pay £52 a day incl. all meals and snacks and nappies etc

Depends what area of the country you are but that sounds pretty average to me

Our area ranges from 800-1600 for full time places a month

South east, £65 not including food

In my corner of London it’s £65-£90(!) p/day.

£35 per day for the childminders round here: semi rural lancashire

55 a day includes everything. In York.

65 for busy bees. Watch out for wrap around care when you get your free hours.

In London we paid £70 but friends in a naice area two tube stops away were paying £93/day

Seemed pretty average when we were looking.

Booked a place for our wee one last week, we'll be paying £44 per day for him when he's 10 months.
