Support PVI Nurseries to prevent closures

Stop telling private businesses how to offer funding and what they can and cannot charge for, small businesses are closing due to the rising costs. As a manager of an early years setting each year is becoming more challenging, and the government’s proposals and guidance is having a massive impact.!

Background

The rising costs in staff wages, rent, food, utility bills etc etc etc and then being told you can’t charge what you need to survive (as a private business) is hideous, almost like they don’t want us to survive! Yes help parents but not at the expense of others! This is not only having a financial impact but an impact on all those working in early years mental health as the pressures continue to rise
