Current Fees
When you enroll a non- enrolment fee of £70 is required to hold a space for your child. When a place is available and has been accepted, a refundable deposit of £100 is payable. This deposit will only be refunded if a terms written notice has been given in advance.
A child starting at the Nursery will be expected to attend for a minimum of three sessions per week for the first term, rising to more sessions for subsequent terms if required. By the time a child is three years old, we recommend that your child attends Nursery a minimum of five sessions per week.
Once we have agreed with you what sessions have been allocated to your child for the term, those sessions cannot be varied and so if your child misses a session, for whatever reason, that session cannot be replaced with one on a different day.
