Dear Heidi, thank you for your review of our nursery and for your praise of our team, nutrition and extra curricular activities.  Of course, we too are disappointed to be forced to increase our nursery fees year on year. Unfortunately, our hands are tied as these increased costs are directly related to the proportionately higher increase to the minimum wage that the Government have rolled out in recent years. Coupled with this, businesses also face increases to National Insurance contributions, business rates and other expenditure. Whilst we work very hard to mitigate against these mounting costs, we are also keen to ensure the quality of our provision, food, resources and activities like Forest School, baby yoga, music sessions and Sing and Sign still continue.  We are also committed to supporting our amazing team of qualified and highly experienced practitioners whom will all directly benefit from the fees increase.   We take all reviews seriously and will share with our whole team.
