Fees and Funding
Information about registration process and our fees
Registration & Fees
For more information about our nursery fees and how funding is delivered, please click on the handbook below.
If you wish to register at one of our nurseries, simply complete our registration form and return it to the Manager of your chosen nursery.
We do not require you to book a minimum number of sessions per week. After all, you know what is going to work best for you and your child. However, we advise that your child attends at least twice a week to give them continuity and to help them feel settled in their surroundings.
Once a place has been allocated, a deposit of £80.00 is required to secure your child’s place with us. This deposit is refunded when your child leaves the nursery, provided all terms and conditions have been complied with.
The deposit is non-refundable if the child doesn’t start at the nursery.
Leave it to us
We provide everything your child will need whilst they are with us, including nappies, wipes, milk, snacks and meals. Be aware that we get very messy, so spare clothes for your child are required. Fees are invoiced monthly in advance.
