The
fees include all food, equipment, nappies,
wipes and other necessities, however,
due to a change of National Nursery policy
we are not allowed to provide baby milk.
Unlike many other nurseries nationally
we take the view that we are offering
a complete childcare service.
In our experience it is easiest for parents
to drop their children off in the morning
knowing that their every need will be
catered for. All we ask is that you provide
a change of clothes and a pair of Wellington
boots for your child.
If you are late collecting your
child a fee of £10.00 per half-hour
will be levied to cover the extra staffing
costs incurred. The charge will be payable
following the first 10 minutes of a late
pick up. If a child is not collected at
the end of the day by their parent/carer
two nursery employees will remain on the
premises with the child until they are
collected.
The Nursery will await contact from the
parent for instructions as to who will
collect the child and when. In the event
of the Nursery not being contacted by
the parent and likewise not being able
to contact the parent, the Nursery reserves
the right to contact the local Social
Services department to arrange temporary
care.
Fees are payable monthly, in
advance. Fees must still be paid if children
are absent for a short period of time.
If you are going on holiday you must pay
in advance for your usual days.
Fundings and Grants:
Children aged 3 and 4 are eligible
for funding from the term after their
third birthday. The funding covers five
sessions of 2.5 hours for 11 weeks per
term i.e. funding is available for 33
weeks out of a 52 week year. At The Blue
Door Nursery parents will pay the reduced
rate while the grant is payable and the
full rate when it is not.
The Blue Door Nursery also accepts a range
of workplace issued childcare vouchers.
Payment:
We would prefer monthly payments
by standing order or direct debit. An
invoice will be issued at the start of
each month and payments should be received
by the 10th of the month. If there are
problems with this method please speak
to Rebecca to discuss alternatives.
If your child attends extra sessions we
will expect payment for those sessions
either in cash or by cheque on the day
of the extra sessions. If payments are
missed a nursery place will be withdrawn
the following month.
Deposits:
A deposit amounting to a month’s
fee is required to secure a nursery place;
this deposit is not payment for the first
month’s fees. The deposit is refundable
and will be returned in the last month
of your child’s time at The Blue
Door Nursery.
Notice:
A month’s notice in writing
is required when you are intending for
your child to leave the nursery. Alternatively,
fees in lieu will be payable.
