Nursery fees

[Yikes2021]

Does anyone know where i stand on nursery fees.

I called my nursery on jan 5 and was told “don’t send my kids in if possible”, “it’s not worth risk”, not enough staff as some shielding etc.

We decided to keep at home for now. Especially as we have a school aged child anyway.

They have since had several members of staff and kids go down with covid. Nursery is now closed to all as a) self isolating as people have been exposed b) not enough staff to cover as they are self isolating and shielding

Now they are saying they might be in position to open late next week but only to key worker kids. They “might have room for others but will check on a day to day basis”

I’m totally fine with this but I’ve got two kids at nursery 3 days a week and they want me to continue paying full fees. They state in a recent letter there will be no fee reduction.

Surely that’s not right? I’m happy to make a fair contribution but not full fees.,

Cheeky f**ckers to be honest, they've blocked people from using their service which is open to all right now (legally) and still expect full fee?

No way I'd pay and I'd look elsewhere tbh. I'm not sure what recourse you have though

Unreasonable from the nursery but if they close due to lack of funds do you have other options. I’d weigh it all. But full fees seems very high.
