Alliance comments on 新澳门六合彩官网开奖 fees consultation

12th January 2016

Commenting on the government's plans to publish a consultation on increases to 新澳门六合彩官网开奖 annual fees, Neil Leitch, chief executive of the Pre-school Learning Alliance said:

鈥淎t a time when so many early years providers are struggling financially, many will 鈥 rightly 鈥 be concerned by the prospect of yet another increased business cost. While we recognise that the fees charged by regulators are always subject to increase, the proposed increase in 新澳门六合彩官网开奖 fees is likely to coincide with the introduction of the 30-hour offer. It is vital, therefore, that any consultation on this change is, in fact, a proper consultation that genuinely takes into account the views of the sector and the impact that any increase in fees would most certainly have, as well as acknowledging the ever-increasing financial pressures that providers are under.鈥
