School Fees
Fees are calculated on the basis of the weekly charge for sessions attended, multiplied by 52 weeks and divided by 12 months to create a fixed monthly charge. Fees are paid by bank transfer monthly and are due by the first day of the month to which they relate. Alternative methods of payment are available by special arrangement only. 15 hours per week FREE Early Years Education
From the term after your child reaches 3 years old, he/she will become eligible for up to 15 hours per week FREE nursery education over a 38 week period per year (i.e. during term times). The conditions of the offer are:
- No sessions can be longer than 10 hours or shorter than 2½ hours.
- The full 15 hours per week can be taken over no fewer than 3 days.
- You will be able to access a maximum of 2 providers at any one time.
- Additional hours over and above the 15 free hours per week and over and above the 38 weeks will be charged at the current rate for our nursery
Through your employer it is possible to save up to £2,392 pa on your child's place through childcare vouchers. Childcare vouchers are non-taxable and exempt from National Insurance Contributions up to a limit of £243 per month or £55 per week per parent. This means that in families where both parents are taxpayers there are potential savings of between £1,924 to £2,392 per annum dependent on your tax status. The provision of vouchers must be part of an employers scheme, but because vouchers are exempt from both employer and employee NICs, your employer benefits too. You will need to ask your employer if your company is a member of a nursery voucher scheme.
