Holidays will be charged at 25% off the bill as a place retainer fee.
Fee rates change from the month following your child's third birthday, regardless of when they move rooms.
We offer a 10% sibling discount for your 2nd child attending at the same time as your first and 5% discount for your 3rd child attending at the same time as your first and second.
Monthly fees are payable by the first of the month for the month ahead.
A £100 deposit is required to secure a place, which is deducted from your first months bill and a non refundable £100 registration/administration fee is payable.
Prices are subject to annual increases.
We accept payment for fees via online bank transfer, childcare vouchers, Tax-Free Childcare and the Childcare Grant Payment Service (CCGPS).
Early Education Funding
We are registered to take children that are eligible for the 9 month, one, two, three and four year old Government Early Education Funding.
Where eligible, this is available from the start of the next term following the child’s birthday.
We offer all types of Early Education Funding on the 'All Year Round Stretched basis', for the 51 weeks of the year we are open.
The Government Funding is intended to cover the cost to deliver high quality, flexible early education. It is not intended to cover the cost of meals, consumables or additional services provided. An hourly rate contribution may be payable for these (dependent on the type of Funding being received), as well as any additional hours attended.
Please contact the Finance Office on 01202 240832 for further information and current prices.
