Fees have just gone up to a crazy ?79.80 per day for Under 2's and ?74.75 for Over 2's.

Much is made of the fact it is rated Outstanding by Ofsted but surely not every Outstanding nursery charges this much?

Am interested to know as this seems far too high to pay.

Think gumboots is about ?50 for over 2s but is a community nursery ( and outstanding at recent inspection)


That new ish one at The Elms on Peckham rye is about ?85 for under 2s I think... Big disparities but I guess they. An charge what they like due to lack of spaces vs kids in the area

The fees are ridiculous every year they raise the fee. I over heard the staff complaining about it say they don't even get half the money they are ripping these people off the garden is run down the nursery need more resources were does the money go in management pocket and the head boss while we buss our asses off looking after the children and doing all the work.
We had our first child at Asquiths (?78/day) and then she moved to The Villa (?55/day). Our second goes to My Favourite Nursery (?46/day). I would say completely honestly that we get much more in terms of both care and her development at both The Villa and My Favourite Nursery than we did at Asquiths, so yes I think it is far too high to pay

    • They'd been there for days but I hadn't tied them to this thread. Nice work, it was bugging me!
    • Off topic, but when I was a kid in Streatham, long ago, apart from the milkman (rarely if ever milkwoman),  who also delivered yoghurt - very exotic - in little glass jars, we also had regular deliveries of coal, bread and cheesecakes (not the kind we know now, they had coconut on top), fruit and veg,  and paraffin (both pink and blue). I'm not entirely sure we have lost "something amazing" by buying milk in shops. The glass bottles were left on the doorstep and the metallic tops were pecked through by birds getting at the cream/milk. Or else the bottles were nicked.  And then there was the rag and bone man.... bell and horse and cart, just like Steptoe. God I'm old. We didn't have supermarket deliveries. We didn't have supermarkets. I remember the first supermarket opening in Streatham. It  was quite amazing having to walk round and  put your own shopping in a basket. As you were ..... Sorry OP and admin.
    • Yep, I hear you. Been waiting for modern milkman to these parts and plan to try them out. I still remember Dennis, our Egg-man, from my childhood, who used to deliver dozens in his Citroen 2C and came to collect the boxes the following week. Happy Days. 
    • I always feel we lost something amazing when we moved away from home milk delivery with glass bottles using electric floats to driving to supermarkets and buying milk in plastic bottles. Hindsight says we should have valued the good old milky more
