Fees and contributions
Unfunded Children
Current fee 9.30-12.30pm £11.00
Lunch club 12.30-1.30pm £3.00
Invoices are sent out to parents of unfunded children every half term and we ask that payment is made within two weeks.
If parents are experiencing difficulties with payments, please speak in confidence to the nursery manager and alternative arrangements can be made.
Please note, in accordance with our admissions policy, a half term’s notice is required if parents/carers wish to withdraw their child from Nursery other than to attend school. If this notice period is not given for unfunded children, fees will be charged in lieu of notice. A half term’s notice is also required if parents/carers wish to reduce their child’s sessions. If this notice period is not given for unfunded children, we reserve the right to charge the amount that has been invoiced.
Funded Children
Parental contribution 9.30-12.30pm £1.00
Lunch club 12.30-1.30pm £3.00
From the term after a child’s third birthday, children are entitled to Early Education funding. This funding covers the rent and a large part of the staff’s wages. However, beyond this the nursery is expected to raise its own funds. We therefore ask parents of funded children to make a contribution of £1.00 per session. This is not mandatory
As a not-for-profit charity the contributions received from parents enable us to ensure that the nursery can continue to operate in the future providing quality care and education for every child who attends. The money generated enables us to update and renew equipment and resources for the children and to subsidise the children’s parties and outings. It also contributes to salaries. The dedicated staff team is paid a fair and competitive rate of pay. We believe strongly in providing ongoing professional development and funding training is a crucial part of our ongoing success.
To parents of funded children we send out a note of the suggested parental contribution based on the number of sessions the child will attend that half term.
