  Nursery fees- how much?

  docshell Joined on 01-Jun-2004 United Kingdom Posts 2,746

  Contact Just been to see the most amazing nursery- very small 22 kids (most part time) in 5 acres they do home cooking, lots of activities, going on adventures through the fields, etc. A real home environment- like a child minders but bigger rather than a commercial business run nursery. Just wondered what the going rate was (quite alot of websites don't say) and does this inc food? Is it really bad that we don't want to see anymore nurseries? Should we force ourselves to at lest go around a few more options?

Both H and i are very instinctive people which has got us into trouble sometimes- going out for a pint of milk and "popping into the RSPCA" and getting an abused german shepherd is our best so far. So thought maybe we "should" see more. But maybe we'll just fill in the form tonight!

  Contact Hi, I live near the coast and have 2 in nursery. The oldest is 4 and goes to the local school nursery 3 whole days a week.  She gets breakfast, 2 snacks & drinks provided and I send her with a pack lunch.  That costs £21.50 a week.  My youngest is 15 months and does to a private day nursery and it costs £33 per day includes 3 meals, 2 snacks and drinks + nappies.    I think you get a gut feeling about a place.  I looked at 4 nurseries, and enquired about 1 more.  I ruled 3 out straight away. I had a favourite but they could not offer the days I needed so I went with option 2 which I was still happy with but it was abit of a trek across town. Luckily about 6 weeks before I returned to work my 1st choice called to say they had the days I needed.   Bubbles05 Bubbles05

  bones Joined on 27-Jul-2003 United Kingdom Posts 3,205	Contact Too much!!!! really depends where you are in the country - we are in Surrey and its around £48 for a full day, so somewhere over £1000 a month if you go full time (and the government want to encourage us back to work - sorry nursery costs are a bit of a sore point for me!)
