OFSTED REGISTRATION FEES.....................................

[bossybritches]

................are set to rise again (having put them up twice this year) and they are proposing that by 2010 they will be over £400 for daycare nurseries?????

I'm sorry but I don't see what we get for our money now & as far as I'm concerned they are a govt-funded body not a profit making business?

Will also put this on the CM page as it affects us all.

Grrrrr

Sorry... have posted this on nurseries as well- it will affect CM's / after school clubs as well.

Thanks bossybritches. we have a thread about it here:www.mumsnet.com/Talk/2300/429958

Sorry henni!

Might of known you lot would be quicker off the mark than me

I'll read it- thanks!

No need to be sorry, I think that no matter which sector we work in, we all feel the same!

Too right- it's squeezing the smaller friendly/quality end of the childcare market (the one the parents all like!) out isn't it?

I run a nursery but it's small & will stay like that!

Just thought I'd add to this that you can give them your opinion on the dfes website here

Thanks Alison- I will tell them my opinion!!

Mind you "consultation" in this context usually means "lip-service to the idea we give a stuff what you think"
