Explaining why we can’t afford to offer 30 hours!

I have just received back the parent surveys that I sent out. As predicted they are all crying out for us to open five days a week. We used to open five mornings, then we were put under pressure from parents to open for two days and a morning (to make the 15 hours) which is what we have been doing for the last few years. I made the decision that with the numbers we have on roll (14) that to provide the 30 hours funding would not feasible. (I also don’t think we have many families that would qualify) Last year it was touch and go on the 15 hours that we could remain open. How do I explain to the parents that we just cannot afford to run at a loss which is what we would be doing if we opened 15 hours. It is making really anxious, I am sure they think I am just being difficult! And I want to be able to explain clearly in my response. Any advice would be most appreciated.
