Payment of Fees You will be sent an invoice each month detailing your fees. These are payable in ADVANCE by cheque, cash or employer vouchers. Prompt payment is very important as we rely on fees being paid on time to keep the pre-school running. Our current fee scale is as per the price list you received,. If you require another copy of the hours and price list, please ask a member of staff.
The term following your child’s 3rd birthday, they become eligible for Government funding for nursery places, these can be used against the cost of either the morning or afternoon session.
You can claim a maximum of 12.5 (twelve & a half) hours per week, during term time or can spread your allowance all year round. Please note full fees are payable during any periods when funding is not available.
Arrears We cannot accept a build-up of arrears for fees. Payment is due on the first day of the month invoiced, unless arrangements have been made for payment. You may be asked to keep your child at home if there is a non payment of fees, until the situation has been resolved. A 5% administration charge will be added to your account if payment is not received within the time stipulated. Instalments can be made but this needs to be agreed before hand with the manager or administrator and must be applied for in writing.
If you are having financial problems, please let the manager know as soon as possible (all information will be treated in the strictest of confidence) this will avoid your child being excluded.
Notice Period If you remove your child before the end of the school year, we ask that you give us at least four weeks notice. If you are not able to do this, you will be liable to pay for four weeks fees, this will enable the pre-school to be funded whilst we try to fill the vacancy.
