Change in fees for registered care providers

Changes to fees for care providers, including child minders, care homes, nurseries and others, will be effective from 1 April 2024. 

A fee increase of 5.7% (rounded to the nearest £5) will be implemented to align with the income support benefit rise announced as part of the 2024/2025 budget. The changes aim to ensure the sustainability and quality of care services in the community. 

All registered providers of health and social care under the Regulation of Care Act 2013 will be affected, as the initial registration fees and the annual fee for registered services increase. 

An overview of the new fees is set out in the tables below:
