I'm in the North East, I was charging £35 a day. Struggled to get even that much when most of my children were getting 30hours funding as the rate we got from the council didn't fully cover it. I could charge extra for food and stuff but I was limited to how much people were willing to pay for it.

I’m North East and was always quoted about £40/45 a day but none could cater for 4 on 4 off shifts. I ended up not going back to work as nurseries were going to eat my wages up. What annoyed me more was the staff in the nursery were all on minimum wage whilst the owner was parading about in a 3 month old porsche🤣if anyone has Gemmas number let me know🤣

That nursery sounds familiar 🤣 I've just left one where the owners had a Jag and the manager worked 3 days a week but was off on holiday to New York and Lapland within weeks of each other... Meanwhile the nursery was staffed on 18 year old apprentices getting £4 an hour and a few very experienced nursery nurses on minimum wage. Didn't add up to me!

Kinda reminds me. My children's old school served absolutely disgusting miniscule meals to the kids, could never afford anything, tried to intimidate me when I asked where my sons SEN funding was going. Fear not though cause the head teacher drove a lovely expensive car and had lots of lovely fine jewellery though. I let OFSTED know my concerns a while back. Dunno if anything came of it.

Erugh hopefully someone looked into it. My neighbour was telling me the primary school next to mine is asking for money every week that apparently goes on new equipment etc but they were still asking them to bring in their own exercise books, glue sticks, pens and pencils and then pay for text books

In Ireland you have to pay for all that , they don’t get anything free, have to buy everything they need for school and pay for extra bits , swimming lessons have to be paid for, school trips, no school lunches, so much for “free education” 😭

Ee really! I think standard here is free school meals until junior school, and you don’t pay for equipment. Usually pay for swimming and trips but I think they are voluntary contributions. What happens if people cannot afford it?
 
Just catching up on this weeks episodes, can they just please get rid of Summer and her Christmas jumper and Aaron , it’s so painful it’s making me hate peoples with diabetes

In some areas that are classified as disadvantaged schools they would get some free food but there are a lot of hungry kids coming to school

Is Michael going to get pulled into this murder when it is found out ? He was first on the scene after Leo went into the bin and first on the scene for Teddie and was given the paper puncher .

I assumed that Stephen gave him the hole punch deliberately so that his fingerprints will be all over it. I don’t think it will be obvious that he was hit over the head with that in particular though!

My Mum has been saying this all week 😄😄 he is a little cutie
Classic Corrie is brilliant isn't it
Really enjoyed the episodes this week. Fiz was hilarious with her rooftop protest.
Never thought I would have Fiz and hilarious in the same sentence 🤣

I was meant to start watching the classics after reading here and forgot. I must remember next week, sick off the current BS
