Following a consultation, homes in these arrangements have been handed a new fee structure that is “more reflective of the work that Ofsted will need to undertake in regulating and inspecting this type of provision”, says the DfE.
This will see annual fees for multi-building children’s homes of up to three places set at £4,254, with £283 for each additional place.
