Payment

Payment is made in advance. The Nursery will accept payment in all Childcare Vouchers, Cash, cheques and direct debit. 

The information on how to pay by internet banking is included on our Nursery invoice.

Payment terms are as follows-

The nursery invoices parents each term:

• September-December
• January- March
• April- July 

Each invoice shows the full amount payable, the invoice also gives parents the option to pay the amount in 3 instalments, which will also include an administration charge.

Parents who withdraw their child from the nursery are required to give one month’s notice in writing. Or pay a month’s fees in lieu of notice.

If payment is not made we follow the procedure as illustrated below:- 

• After one week a reminder copy of the invoice is sent.
• After Two weeks, if no payment is made a reminder letter is sent with a copy of the Invoice and a late fees payment of £10 is applied 

If no payment is made after several reminders, we inform the parent that their child cannot attend until the debt has been cleared. A warning letter is sent advising that the debt will be passed to our agents for recovery.

All nursery fees are reviewed every school year (September) and a copy of the fees are sent to all parents.

Parents are still required to pay the full fees for their child’s non-attendance due to illness or holidays except in exceptional circumstances when the child is absent for a prolonged period due to ill health. The parents are invited to a meeting to agree a retainer fee to keep their child’s place open.
