EXERCISING will become a luxury for parents who rely on the creche at Beau Sejour, it has been claimed.

Claudine Jackson, mum of two-year-old Lucie, put together a petition and asked users for their solutions after Culture and Leisure announced reduced opening hours and higher charges.

But the department has not changed its mind, although the increases will be phased in. It will still close in the afternoons.

Mrs Jackson said she was disappointed the department had not looked into their ideas.

I use the creche often in the mornings. I will probably pay the extra amount (because i like my exercise me-time) and then offset the cost by not going to the cafe afterwards (where i spend way too much money anyway!) and then I may go into the free softplay area instead of spending money on kiddycapers.
Doing this i will probably save money and… beau sejour will make less …but hey thats what happens when you employ people who cant join the dots.
