We are registered to accept the Nursery Education Grant (NEG).  This is available to all children aged three and four years.  Where a child does not qualify for the NEG, then fees apply. For those eligible, we are also able to offer the 30 free childcare hours.  We are also eligible to accept NEG for 2 year olds where applicable.

​

Fees are payable per term in advance, and can be paid by cash, cheque, BACS or childcare vouchers. Fees must still be paid if children are absent without notice for a short period of time. For your child to keep their place, you must pay the fees. Fees are charged to cover running costs only, and are payable for any sessions attended that are not funded by the NEG.

​

For those not eligible for the grant, we currently charge £4.95 per hour.

 

Each half-Term we ask for a voluntary contribution of £15 for snacks and sundries, as allowed through our Local Provider Agreement with Gloucestershire County Council.  Whilst not an obligatory charge, there is an expectation for parents to pay this, to support the provision of healthy snacks, fruit and sundries. 

​

Please note that for nappy-wearing children, their invoice will include a mandatory charge of £15/half-term to cover the cost of nappy disposal (in line with Government regulations), and to reflect increased demands on staff time.

 

In addition to this we take a £50 deposit to secure your child's place - which is payable within 10 working days of the confirmed enquiry.  This is deducted from your child's first invoice.

 

NB: Times and fees may change.  We will be glad to confirm at the time of application.  

 

Some families may qualify for financial assistance, for example Early Years Pupil Premium or Disability Access Funding.  For more information on these and how you may be able to obtain this for us to support your child, please click here.
