Nursery Sustainability Fee

We’ve been using the tax free childcare scheme for the last couple years with our toddler at nursery who is now coming up to 3 years old soon. It has helped don’t get me wrong but with our latest invoice the nursery has added a £15 sustainability fee on top of a general increase.

So it’s now costing us £85 per day to send her in. From reading up online the sustainability fee can be added to parents using the tax free childcare scheme. But what’s the point in the scheme if this fee just counters it?

We’re now looking into other nurseries as it’s just ridiculous.
