@daleksteve Nope. These days if a daycare doesn't want you they will boot without a second thought! Though the nice ones will usually try and work out stuff behaviorally first.
I do think its fair to ask why the sudden increase. If this is happening across the board I wonder why they didn't...
@daleksteve No, they aren't monsters. They may be bleeding staff as they should if they're also paying their workers below going rate. This does sound like a newbie owner that doesn't know how to set reasonable rates but...monsters? Really?
