Day care fee calculation

Fees are calculated by the confirmed number of sessions or days per week multiplied by 50, divided by 12.

We close for all public holidays and for two weeks over Christmas. There is no reduction for holidays taken or absence. When your child reaches the age of two, our fees are re-calculated to reflect the change in staff-to-children ratio. The new fee is effective the following month.

Day care late payment charge

An additional charge of £35 will be made if fees are received after the first working day of the month. If the fees (including the £35 charge) have not been received within a week after the first working day of the month, a further £10 will be payable for every working day thereafter during which the fees remain outstanding.
