Late Payment Charge
All payments are due by the 25th of every month. Payments received after this date will incur a late payment charge of £20.00. Exceptional circumstances may be allowed at management discretion.
Holiday Discount
Enjoy a 50% reduction of normal charges for up to three weeks holiday a year. Please notify the Nursery in writing at least four weeks in advance.
Healthy meals included
in your child’s day
All fees for non-funded children are inclusive of all meals — except for baby milk, which parents provide.
Funded children are subject to a small food charge of £4 per day, or £2.50 per afternoon session, as government funding does not cover the cost of meals.
Pre-School children (age 3+) have the option of bringing a cold packed lunch and snacks. Please ask to see our Packed Lunch Policy.
A Few Important Details
Nappies & Wipes
To save you the trouble of bringing them yourself, nappies can be provided by the Nursery at just £1.50 per session.
Minimum Bookings
Bookings must be a minimum of two sessions per week per child. Exceptional circumstances may be allowed at management discretion.
Notice Period
A full month’s written notice is required for any changes to your child’s booking, including cancellations.

Funded places are available for 9 months – 5 year olds as per the Nursery Free Education Entitlement.
