Fees

Fees are calculated at the end of each half term for the upcoming term, and full payment is required within two weeks of receiving the invoice via email. All payments can be viewed on School Money and there is an option for payments to be made in instalments. The Full amount must be paid by the deadline on the invoice. Fees must still be paid if a child is absent for any reason, including illness or holidays taken during term time.

Full-Time Places

For full-time places, any additional hours beyond the universal 15-hour per week entitlement will incur an extra charge. If parents qualify for the 30 hours of government-funded childcare (as outlined in the "Eligibility for 30 Hours Free Childcare" guidelines), these extra hours will be funded directly by the government. However, the 40-minute additional supervision between sessions, exceeds the 30-hour free entitlement and will incur a charge at a rate determined by the governing body to cover the staffing costs for this additional time.

Morning: £16.80

40 Minutes Supervision (20-minutes AM & 20-minutes PM) £2.65

Afternoon: £16.80

Fees are reviewed annually in March and one month’s notice will be given of any changes.

We provide the option for children to be collected between 11:40 and 12:20 if you wish to avoid the supervision charges.

Late Payment and Additional Charges

If fees are not paid by the due date, a late payment fee of £10.00 will be applied., If fees are not settled within month, we reserve the right to withdraw the nursery place.

Notice of Withdrawal or change of hours

Parents/carers must provide one full month's written notice if they wish to withdraw or change their child hours in nursery. If this notice is not given, the full month's fees will be charged.

Free Universal Entitlement

All three- and four-year-olds are entitled to 15 hours of free early education per week during term time (38 weeks per year).

Eligibility for 30 Hours Free Childcare

Parents may qualify for the extended 30 hours of free childcare if both parents earn, on average, the equivalent of 16 hours per week at the national minimum wage.

To check eligibility, parents should visit the Government’s Childcare Choices website.

Parents can only begin claiming their 30 hours of free childcare from the term following the date they receive confirmation from HMRC. Therefore, parents are encouraged to apply as early as possible.

If eligible, parents must provide a 30-hour code and their National Insurance Number on the Parent Declaration form. As the free childcare cannot be claimed until the code has been verified, it is crucial for parents to submit this information promptly to avoid any delays.

For complete information on early years funding, including eligibility and support options, please visit the Childcare Choices/30 hours free childcare, Tax free Childcare for more information.

It is important that parents reconfirm their eligibility for the free childcare entitlement every three months. HMRC will send reminders to ensure parents stay updated on their eligibility.
