Additional charges

Enhanced Curriculum

We offer a Premium Package, carefully designed to enhance your child’s learning experience—because the basic EYFS is only the minimum standard and not enough to fully prepare children for school and beyond. This is optional for Government Funded Families. By opting out, your child may not take part in the enhanced curriculum activities.

Enhanced Curriculum

We serve home-cooked meals on a three-week rotation, with separate Spring/Summer and Autumn/Winter menus.

Due to allergy considerations, we are unable to accept packed lunches.

Enrolment

Fees are billed monthly in advance and are due on the 1st of each month. A late payment incurs a £25.00 fee, added to your next invoice. Late collection is charged at £1.00 per minute after the booked session ends, also added to your next invoice.

Enrolment

To secure your child’s place, we do ask you to pay an enrolment fee and/or deposit. The amount depends on how you are funding your child’s nursery place with us. Your deposit will be refunded when your child starts with us. Terms & Conditions Apply.

other ways to save

Sibling Discount

We offer a 5% discount on your oldest child’s nursery fees when their younger sibling starts.

Tax Free Childcare

Parents can pay their nursery fees through a Tax-Free Childcare account if they are eligible. For every £8 you pay in, the government will add an extra £2, up to £2,000 per child per year, which is up to £500 every three months.

Tax Credits

Tax credits are available from HM Revenue and Customs, based on your household’s circumstances. You may be able to access help with the cost of childcare if you’re working for a minimum of 16 hours/week. For further information and eligibility, check online:

TAX CREDITS

Childcare Vouchers

We accept childcare vouchers from employers who offer this benefit. These vouchers are tax-free and exempt from National Insurance for employees, while also providing NI savings for employers. Both parents can claim, as long as they are in employment.
