Problem:
-
Most of
the nursery-schools seen do have the same problem: Bureaucratic
problems in the start-up period delay the opening of the schools. So
they do not open before the new school year and do not have at their
disposal a sufficient number of children. A sufficient number of
children to run profitably is between 40 to 80. So in the first
school year, a lot of nurseries are not profitable and the fix
costs are to high.
Solution:
-
Several
nursery schools need a re-assessment of the initial credit for the
first year.
-
Publicity
and marketing measures have to be undertaken before the beginning of
the next school year.
-
The high
fixed costs (rent and personal costs) cannot be avoided if the
nursery school will be well managed, but a higher number of children
will pay these costs.
-
Before
the start-up period, the promotors have to be informed to start up
their business long before the beginning of the school year in order
to overcome this problem.
Action
-
Support
the re-assessment of the initial credit scheme for the first school
year.
-
Advisory
for promotion and marketing measures:
a simple leaflet would be a
first measure to support marketing visits in their district.
-
A
purpose of 50-80 children per nursery school should be fixed.
