Since our last fee review back in 2020, the cost-of-living crisis, inflation, increased overheads, and rising staffing costs have posed significant challenges for us. After careful consideration, we’ve found it necessary to implement a slight increase in our fees. This decision hasn’t been made lightly, but it’s essential for us to ensure the sustainability and quality of our services amidst rising costs.
Starting from April 2nd, 2024, there will be a 20% increase to our Pre-school, After School Club, and Holiday Playscheme fees.
Outlined below are the updated fees:
