This is to ensure that we can claim the correct funding for your child if he/she receives funding, and invoice you correctly if your child is non-funded. Please advise us of any changes two weeks prior to the end of each term so that we can manage our admissions efficiently. Invoicing - If you pay for some or all of your child’s nursery sessions we will provide you with an invoice in September which will cover the fees for the Autumn term. Invoices will subsequently be given to you at the beginning of each term for fees covering the following term. If you are unable to pay the full amount please do not worry, but speak to a member of the office staff. Late collection of children from nursery may incur a charge. Refunds - Unfortunately, we are not able to refund the cost of your session if your child is ill or absent for any other reason. Buggies/pushchairs - We are sorry that there is no room for buggies in the nursery classroom but parents may bring them into the Early Years playground at drop-off and pick-up.
