Oh I suppose as a silver lining think what it would be like without those free 15 hours!

When our 30 hours kick in, it'll basically be free for us as she's only in for 25 hours as it is. We'll probably increase as she gets closer to reception.

Yeah could definitely be worse, just another thing going up in price to get the same service. Just having a whinge, probably because she also decided a couple of hours screaming session rather than sleep was a good idea so I'm already cranky :D

No, lets be honest though. It sucks. I know they have wages to pay to keep the business running and they don't want to spread germs around (any more than they already do!) but it drives me up the wall having to pay £75 a day when she's off sick.

£75/day! Ours has just gone up to ~£100 day. For two. Its OK though, 5% discount for twins.

At one point we probably had about 60% attendance/being sent home for illness. Has got a lot better lately though.
 
Yeah, we are lucky with our nursery as it's one of the cheaper ones yet has a Good ofsted rating and the staff are lovely. K absolutely adores the staff there

Is this nurseries? Oh my that period about 1.5-2 years old when they seem to be off sick more than they're there! It pretty much broke me that did. Getting them well again, taking multiple days off work (repeatedly) and all the sleepless nights mopping up the vomit, then sending them back in (after the mandatory 48 hour exclusion periods) just for them to get something else and be back chundering the next weekend. We definitely felt we were paying for them to make our kid ill then tell us they couldn't come in for X days. I swear there was some parent there just sending their kid in irrespective of any vomiting/tummy bug symptoms and ignoring the 48 hour thing.
 
To go with the fee increase news it appears they've thrown in a free stomach bug that the little one and the wife now have.

Really looking forward to crapping through the eye of a needle by the end of the week :rolleyes:

The amount of time and money wasted and cancelled plans over the last 12 months is honestly just depressing.
