The municipality was in sixth place in 2014, in AS\u00cd's overview of the lowest nursery fees, but now holds the fourth position. Improvements in operations and a rethinking of processes and organisation are directly benefiting, among others, families with children in Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The AS\u00cd Price Monitoring Service investigated changes to nursery fees and food charges in the fifteen largest municipalities in the country between 1 February 2015 and 1 January 2016. The findings were presented recently. There is a considerable price difference between the highest and lowest municipal fee schedules for an eight-hour stay including meals \u2013 see the chart below. The largest rate increase was 5.31%, while on average the increase corresponds to 3-5%. The increase was much smaller in Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur municipality and five other municipalities, at around 11%.\u00a0 In Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur, the fee is kr. 32,937 for 2016, compared to a nursery school fee of kr. 32,583 last year. The increase of kr. 354 per month is explained by the rising cost of food.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"center lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/hafnarfjordur.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/46zzz2t6.jpg\" alt=\"Comparison of nursery fees 2016\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 608px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 608\/399;\"><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201eI welcome that we are now beginning to see tangible results from the extensive reform work we undertook last year.
