I too am a Nursery owner open for 30 months.I agree with all the overhead costs....especially heating...but I too have no wages..but my 4 staff are well paid,depending on age and experience...well above minimum wage,and I supply their drinks(hot and cold),the essential supply of chocolate bars...birthday pressys,christmas bonus....this all helps keep staff morale high,they love their work,our parents love them....our places are always taken as soon as they are free,but then we are registered for only 20....(with the prospect of empty spaces during the holidays..our nursery is all open plan...no seperate room for a holiday club,funded only children room...but we make it work....I have looked after children for 30 years,childminded, then at GREAT expensed converted a double garage into a lovely cosy Nursery.Hassle with the local council...wouldn't give permission,expense of a successful appeal,only if we paid for a very expensive block paved LONG drive to lessen noise for neighbours,remortgage,...I wouldn't say we,as owners are rolling in money,but the PLUSES.....doing a job I love..employing 4 fantastic staff,being appreciated by most of our parents....but best of all guiding children down the path to adulthood and seeing the changes in them as they go off to school....who can buy that???
It is priceless......
