COUNTING THE COST

Chantreyland Children's Day Nursery has assisted Sheffield Council's early years service to undertake a costing within the Sheffield council area. The same exercise will have been undertaken in more than 400 local council areas in England and Wales.

We co-operate with the Children's Information Service in Sheffield to provide information regarding numbers and costs. We provide the Inland Revenue with detailed accounts of profit and loss and staff names and costs and salaries. We also service the annual census with information on numbers, charges, ages, etc through the local council.

Now we have a rating and valuation form to complete, asking for the same information. This has to be done within 56 days or there will be a penalty.
