Nursery Fees

Nursery fees are charged by the hour @ £8.50 per hour.

All children must attend the nursery for a minimum of 15 hours per week this enables the children to settle into the nursery routine quicker.

Fees are to be paid four weekly or termly in advance and the nursery management has the right to terminate accounts that are overdue. If your child is absent due to illness nursery fees must still be paid in full.

A £50.00 registration fee is required then reserving your child’s place at the nursery this is non-refundable.

If your child is accessing free early education hours only the registration fee is non-applicable.

In the mornings we require that children start between 07:30 a.m. at the earliest and no later than 09.00 a.m.

The nursery closes at 16.00 pm late collections will be charged a late pick charge.

The Government has introduced several ways to help parents with childcare costs.  These include 15-hours of free childcare for all children, and 30-hours of free childcare for children from 9 months to 4 years (criteria applies), and the tax free childcare scheme for children . The Government has also announced tax credits & universal credit for childcare, and other childcare vouchers.
