Write a fee-increase letter for parents who pay for private hours

The problem

A fee rise needs a letter that is clear about what is changing, when, and why, without sounding either defensive or apologetic. One owner quoted in the trade press says private-paying parents are feeling the squeeze, so tone matters. AI can turn your own new fees, effective date and reasons into a kind, plain letter. It cannot decide the increase, check your contract or say whether the increase is fair.

What AI does

AI drafts a clear, calm letter to families paying for extra private hours, explaining what is changing, when and why, in your own words. You check your contract's notice terms and that funded hours are unaffected.

The steps, in short

  1. Set the new fees and start date, and check your parent contract's notice terms.
  2. Write your real reasons in a sentence or two.
  3. Have AI draft the letter and a short covering message.
  4. Check it covers only private hours and extras, then send it in line with your contract's notice terms.

A short sample prompt

I run a nursery in England. Draft a calm, clear letter to families paying for private hours: new fees [details] from [date], because [your reasons]. Use [parent name] as a placeholder. Add no reasons, figures or promises of your own.
