childminder annual fee hike

Some childminders could be put out of business by a hike in their annual fees, according to the National Childminding Association.
The annual fee needed to register to look after children aged five to seven is due to go up from £15 to £103.

But campaigners claim the increase this year will damage childminders’ finances and be the final straw for some.

A three-month consultation period by the government on pushing up the price ends next week.
