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.
