    Gee, I'm jealous! Some of you are getting great rates! Ours have gone from $94.50 to $101 a day. That's for the 2-3's room, I think the babies room is about $105.

    We just started this year but we pay $95 per day and I think last year it was $85 per day.

    It does sound like a big increase, did the centre have to hire additional staff this year to meet the new child to staff ratios?? That might explain..

    I pay $10.50 a day for DS who goes twice a week ($72 full rate I think) and $12.50 a day per DD who go 1 day a week ($77 full rate). That's $117 a fortnight.

    You're all lucky.

    When my DSs were in daycare (up until end of January 2011) their fees were $110 per day. Each. And I provided all their nappies, formula (when they were babies), food, drinks etc. Everything. It's the price I pay for living in one of the most expensive suburbs in one of the most expensive cities in Australia.

    The fees are now $125 per day.
