Funding, fees and optional charges⌄
Session types
Full day: 8am to 6pm
Partial day: 8am to 3:30pm
Half day: 8am to 1pm, or 1pm to 6pm
Early start: Available from 7:30am at £8.50 per day, in addition to your session fee.
How fees are calculated
Fees are based on an annual charge broken down into weekly and monthly payments. Monthly fees = weekly fees x 52/12, averaged over the year for simplicity of payment. Invoice amounts may therefore not always be consistent with averaged monthly figures.
Fees are payable throughout the period your child is registered, including during:
- Absence due to sickness or holiday
- Unforeseen nursery closures (bad weather or other circumstances)
- Bank holidays, 3 inset days, and the 1-week Christmas break
Government funding
All 3 and 4 year old children are entitled to the Nursery Education Grant deduction from their fees, starting in the term following their 3rd birthday. Under-3 fees apply until that term commences.
Funded hours can be taken as term time only (38 weeks), or stretched across the year. Please contact us for term-time-only pricing.
Notice
1 month's written notice, or payment in lieu, is required to withdraw your child from nursery or to reduce sessions.

How it all works

How we support you with funding
For any guidance on funding, please get in touch and we can help you understand and apply for all available support. To register, all you need is your funding eligibility code and National Insurance number, we take care of everything else, and apply the reduction to your invoice. We remind you each term when your code needs renewing and flag any issues before they affect your billing. If you are unsure about anything, we're more than happy to walk you through the eligibility check at any time. For families starting mid-term, we allocate funding from your start date, so you only pay for what you use.

How fees are invoiced
Fees are billed monthly in advance, collected by Direct Debit, including tax free childcare accounts. Spreading fees across 12 equal payments means your cost stays consistent regardless of how many days fall in a given month. You will receive your invoice well in advance of each month. Any ad hoc sessions added during the month appear on the next invoice. Four weeks written notice is required to change your regular sessions.
