A completed Childcare Agreement Contract Form and a £30 Non-Refundable Admission Retainer Fee are required to secure your Child's place.

Fees and Invoices

Childcare accounts are payable monthly, in advance for a calendar month of childcare. Accounts are payable by BACS, Bank Transfer and by Bank Card. We also accept childcare vouchers and payment from tax free childcare accounts. We receive any free entitlement directly from the Local Authorities. (More information will be available when your child becomes eligible)
Invoices will be issued in the week preceding the start of the month and will be due for payment by the 7th of that month. Unless there is a prior arrangement, a charge of £25 late payment fee will be charged. Any parent or carer whose fees remain unpaid after the 14th of that month, without prior agreement of the Nursery Manager or Directors, risk their place at the Nursery being withdrawn with immediate effect. A sibling discount is applied to the costs of the eldest child. All discounts are applied to core childcare provision only and do not apply to the service charge, meals or other services. Unless we are in breach of these terms and conditions all booked sessions must be paid for regardless of child's attendance. No refunds are given for sessions missed due to sickness, holidays, early closing on the last day of the Christmas term (if applicable), unavoidable nursery closure or due to pandemics or periods of self isolation for yourself or your child.
Be aware that the number of days childcare provided each month may vary. Bank holidays and Christmas / New Year closures will not be charged for.
If you expect to be late collecting your child please notify the nursery as soon as possible. If notified, the additional time will be charged at the standard hourly rate. Un- notified late collection will be charged at a rate of £10 per half hour to cover emergency staffing and other arrangements.
In case of default on payment the nursery reserves the right to apply a £50 administration fee for the preparation of court papers and interest will be charged at 8% above the Bank of England's interest rate. The nursery is not responsible for collection of fees from any third parties except in the case of statutory nursery education funding allowance. The nursery will give parents and carers two months notice of increase of fees which will normally be reviewed in April.

Termination, cancellation and other change of sessions One month's notice is required by either party for any changes of sessions or termination of agreement.

If parents choose to leave prior to the end of their notice, fees are non - refundable. The minimum period for any permanent change of sessions is one month. If the notified start date is changed by the parent, we reserve the right to charge from the original start date notified on the Agreement form.

The nursery reserves the right to terminate the Agreement with immediate effect in the case of non-payment of fees, or if a parent or carer or child displays abusive, threatening or otherwise inappropriate behaviour, or for any other reasonable cause. Intimidating or abuse of our staff will not be tolerated and may result in immediate termination. In all other cases the standard notice period of one month will apply.

Any changes to session times or dates must be sent via email or a handwritten letter given to the nursery office. No changes can be authorised by the staff in your child's room.

A password is required on the admission form in case of another person/s collecting your child. ID will also be required and staff must be informed on the day of collection.

The CCTV System:

The system comprises of a fixed position camera in every room of the nursery except toilet areas/nappy changing areas. It also consists of monitors, a digital recording system and public information signs. Signs will be prominently displayed to notify staff, parents/carers, visitors and members of the public that a CCTV installation is in use. Although every effort has been made to ensure maximum effectiveness of the system it is not possible to guarantee that the system will detect every incident taking place within the area of coverage.

Purpose of the system:

The system has been installed by the nursery with the primary purpose of protecting the property and equipment. We are also ensuring the safety of the children, staff, parents/carers and visitors consistent with respect for the individual's privacy. These purposes will be achieved by monitoring the system to assist in the prevention and detection of crime or serious incidents/occurrences.

We will administer prescribed medicines only if parents have completed a Medicine Consent form. We may require parents to withdraw their child from nursery without a refund in fees, in the event that they require special medical care or attention which is not available or refused by the parent, or it is considered that the child is not well enough to attend nursery.
