FEES
Our daily rate is £92.00 from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm. For full-time spaces (5 days per week) and siblings, we offer a discounted rate of £87.00 per day. If you require an earlier drop-off at 7:30 am or a later pick-up at 6:30 pm, these can be arranged for an additional charge of £5 each.
The fee covers all snacks, meals, and extra-curricular activities. Nevertheless, we kindly request parents and carers to provide nappies, formula milk, nappy creams, and sun lotions.
Parent/child sickness days are to be paid for, as well as any holidays where the child is absent.
We require payment one month in advance via bank transfer, the tax free childcare scheme or childcare vouchers.
REGISTRATION FEE & DEPOSIT
To secure your child's spot, we request an initial deposit of £400, along with a £50 admin fee. The deposit is held throughout your child's time at the nursery and is refunded upon departure, minus any outstanding fees if applicable. However, if you decide to cancel before the contracted start date or within 4 months of the start date, the deposit becomes non-refundable.
15 AND 30 HOURS FUNDED CHILDCARE
We do accept 15 or 30 hours funding. All three year old's will automatically receive 15 hours funding at the beginning of the term after their third birthday. However, you may be eligible for 30 hours funding. You will need to apply for this via the government website. If you are eligible, they will send you a code which will need to be passed on to us as soon as possible.
With either the 15 or 30 hours funding, the government only fund childcare during term time (38 weeks of the year), and as we are a full time nursery (open 51 weeks of the year), parents and carers would need to cover our daily fee of £92.00 during holiday periods. Therefore, to make finances a little easier for parents (and to avoid having larger invoices during holiday months), we average out the funded hours over the year.
The government do not fund for any meals or refreshments under their 15/30 hours childcare funded scheme, and therefore, we need to charge for this separately. Our charge of £22.00 per day covers the costs of providing and preparing breakfast, two hot meals, refreshments and snacks throughout the day, as well as having a professional cook on the premises on a full time basis. This amount is already included in our normal daily fee, however we charge this separately for the days in which funded hours are being claimed.
