Fees, Terms & Conditions
Applicable From September 2009
We are registered with
Ofsted to deliver the Foundation Stage curriculum and
therefore can claim the Early Years Education Free

This entitlement will
pay towards a maximum of 5 x 2 ½ hour funded sessions a week
for a maximum of 38
weeks in the academic year as below;
Autumn Term 14 weeks -
Spring Term 12 weeks - Summer Term 12 weeks
You can claim your
entitlement (max. 5 sessions) as a morning or afternoon
session or a full day (2 sessions).
Our sessions are 3 hours
therefore you will be paying the balance on each funded
session,
which after your free
entitlement, works out at £4.75 per session.
A discounted rate of
£13.50 is offered for any sessions in excess of the 5 funded
sessions.

debt is paid in full. The interest charge is without
prejudice to the Nursery’s right to withdraw a place
