Parents using council-run nurseries in Leeds are having to pay an extra five per cent in fees from this month.
The full daily rate for childcare at the authority’s 28 Little Owls Nurseries across the city has risen from £49.20 to £51.70, from September 1.
A Leeds City Council notice explaining the move said it would cover a rise in costs, but would “not put the entire burden on parents”. The increase is also designed to help fees keep pace with nurseries in the private sector.
