Another one bites the dust

Incredibly sad to hear yesterday that the pre-school in the next village to us will be closing October half-term :( due to lack of numbers, manager said "just not financially viable"

Mr S got his head bitten off when he said "oh that's good, you might get some of their children"...….maybe I will, maybe I won't, but who wants to see another good provision close - not me that's for sure

There but for the grace of God...….

Happened to us, yes we did get a few extra children- although we were able to take on one staff member too.  But it's so sad when another small independant setting closes.

It’s getting scary isn’t it sunnyday? I only have a few taking up 30hrs a week and that will cost us £2553.60 this year with the difference between our funding rate and our fee charge add that to the number doing 15 hrs a week and the loss is huge, how long can this carry on before settings just say “we’re charging parents the difference”? :-(

When the min wage does a big jump?  I'd love to pay more -but we just can't afford to. :|
