Just a quick query really.
DS had an awful CM, so we moved him to a nursery where he is very happy but the way they calculate the fees is very confusing to me (maybe I am just a bit dense).
The nursery is situated within the grounds of a school though independant from it. They work out the fee on a yearly basis (Sept-Aug), calculating how many days the child will be there in a year (obviously minus bank hols) and dividing that by 12 so you pay a standard amount every month. So far that seems straight forward and works out nicely insofar that we know where we are financially every month.
We were informed there would be an increase of £2 a day to our fees, thats fine. Now, we are due to start paying this years fees from next
Monday (by DD), the first full year DS has been there.
We received our yearly invoice last week and our payment has shot up by almost £80 a month.
Apparently this is because now, instead of minusing 8 days from the beginning of the year (bank holidays) and working that into our monthly fee, we will now get credited the following month after bank holidays for the bank holidays in that month.
Also, DS is due to receive his free childcare place in April next year and so we will get an amended invoice in April.
Surely this is just too confusing. or am I being dense?
