Fees & Funding

Fee invoices are issued termly (August, December, April)

The nursery accepts the following payment methods:

• Online Bank Transfer - Bank details re provided on the invoice..

• Cheque - Payable to the School.  

• School Fee Plan (SFP). This option allows parents to spread payments over 12 months by entering into a credit agreement with SFP. Further information is included in the Welcome pack. 

• Tax-Free Childcare (TFC) or Employer childcare voucher schemes (CCVs) - Only certain charges are eligible under these schemes, such as nursery fees, creche and activities held outside normal school hours.

• Direct Debit (spread over 9 months)

The Government provides financial assistance to parents of children aged three and four years through the Early Years Funding Scheme. This funding is paid directly to the education provider (the School) and offers up to 15 free hours per week during term time, based on the number of hours the child attends. The funding is automatically deducted from the termly invoice.

Please note:

• The School does not participate in the 30 hours funding scheme or the 2 year old scheme.

• Eligibility is based on the child’s date of birth: funding begins the term following a child’s third birthday.  

• Each child is entitled to a maximum of six terms of Early Years Funding, following their third birthday.

Prior to the beginning of each eligible term, parents will be asked to complete a Parent Declaration Form to confirm their child’s entitlement and indicate the intended number of attendance hours. The Finance Office will then calculate the applicable funding and submit the claim on your behalf.
