Hourly fee for certain nurseries and childminders for placements of three to five-year-olds has increased.
A 26p rise in the rate paid by Renfrewshire Council to funded childcare providers has been approved by elected members.
The move was agreed at the education and children's services policy board on Thursday. Councillor Gillian Graham, Labour group education spokesperson, said: "We met with external early year providers earlier in the year. I think some of them were struggling business-wise, so it's good to see the increase in payment. I'm sure they will welcome it."
Julie Calder, head of education, said: "In terms of that £8.50 rate, I think it's important to note that we pay a significantly higher rate for this particular age group than many local authorities across the country. We have been meeting regularly with our funded providers as we work our way through this process and, in terms of the £8.50 rate, that has not been flagged as a concern.
