Late pick up fees are being enforced at nurseries cross the country – but it's a postcode lottery how much you'll pay.
Parents are being charged up to £45 for being a few minutes late picking their kids up from nursery. One mum from Hertfordshire told Netmums she has been charged the £45 fee per 15 minutes – which works out at £3 extra a minute – on more than one occasion.'And yes they do enforce this. It's happened to us a few times when trains from London were cancelled.
It's worse for parents in the south A parent in Warwickshire in the West Midlands said her nursery charges £10 per 15 minutes for late pick ups after 6pm.In Hastings, another mum shared: 'For more than five minutes late, there will be a fee of £25 for each half an hour plus the hourly rate is applied.'
This will usually be communicated to parents via T&Cs in their contract and appear on their next nursery invoice.
