Payment and fees

 

Children will benefit from our enriching Nursery environment each day they are at the Nursery, whether it is all-year round or during term time. In order to best support your child's development, we require you to register for a minimum of 2 days in total, extending up to 3, 4 or 5 days a week. Half day sessions are also available. We encourage sessions/days to be consecutive so children settle and have a consistent routine.

The School is registered with Barnet Council to offer the Government’s 15 hours funding as part of the payment towards Nursery fees. Parents are able to claim free early education in the term after the child turns 3 years old. We offer two options. If your child attends all year round, your child will be entitled to what is known ‘as a stretched offer’ whereby they receive 11.83 hours of funding per week (up to a maximum of 2.37 hours per day they attend) stretched across 48.2 weeks per year until they leave the nursery. If your child attends on a Term Time only basis, your child will be entitled to 15 hours of funding per week (up to a maximum of 3 hours per day they attend) across 35 weeks of the year until they leave the nursery. It is not possible to attend for only 15 hours of free care. Unfortunately we do not offer the Government’s 30 hours funding.
