We charge a refundable deposit of £25. This reserves your place and will be refunded once your child starts with us.

The government funding covers the hours from 9.00 - 3.00 on every day.

Any unfunded hours are charged as follows which are the current government rates in Worcestershire: -
• £5.37 per hour (qualifying period - the term after the child turns three year of age).
• £7.33 per hour for two year olds (a different rate due to higher staff ratio’s).
Please see the extra activities we cover so you can choose when to attend.

Additional Costs For Activities

The Voluntary Contributions allow us to give the children different experiences to learn from, and give us the opportunity to bring outside teachers. You will be asked to opt in or opt out of these voluntary contributions on a termly basis for these activities. If you choose to opt out of Cooking or Forest Schools you will be asked to provide the consumables or resources needed for your child to participate. For activities with outside teachers, such as French, Pyjama Drama, Yoga etc. you are choosing for your child to not participate in the activity. In this case, your child will have access to the standard nursery curriculum. Families who are using the (FRAS) funding code and qualify for (EYPP) Early Years Pupil Premium, will have the option to use this to pay for activities or to provide new resources to further support their development.

We offer free stay and play settling over the Holidays prior to the children starting.

There is an additional charge whenever a child is collected outside agreed times without our prior arrangement or phone call (currently £10.00).

Full fees are payable during holiday and sickness absences.

You need to provide a packed lunch and morning and afternoon piece of fruit as a snack.
