Nursery Funding

Children are automatically entitled to Government funding from the beginning of the term after their third birthday. Each child is entitled to five free sessions of two and a half hours per week for eleven weeks of the term. For further information on funding and term dates please see the Nursery Manager.

Payments

Fees are payable monthly in advance. Invoices are issued at the beginning of each month and should be paid within five working days. Your children can have four weeks holiday per year with two weeks free and half rate for the other two weeks. Unfortunately we cannot give refunds, deduct payments or swap sessions due to sickness or any other reason for absence. For further information on fees and payments please see the Nursery Manager.

Other Information

Invoices are sent out a week before the month to which they relate.
The total amount is due in advance of the month, and it is usual practise to settle before the middle of the month. If you would like to pay by standing order, please inform the nursery office and they will be pleased to sort one out for you.

Reminders are sent out toward the end of the month. If you anticipate any difficulty in paying your bill, it is important to discuss this with the Nursery Manager.
