Fees are subject to change and regular review. Funding entitlement can be utilised in the following ways:
The nursery offers full days (10 hours, between 8am to 6pm) or half days (5 hours, between 8am - 1pm / 1pm - 6pm) over 50 weeks of the year. We do not charge for any consumables although we do ask that parents or carers provide, nappies, wipes and creams for their children and sun lotion for over the summer months.
Recuring Late Pick-Up Payment Charges
At First Steps Day Nursery we expect all parents to agree to collect their child/ children from the nursery at an agreed time. We do recognise that there are exceptional circumstances in which Parents are unavoidably detained. In this instance, you should communicate this to the Nursery your child attends at the earliest possible time. Parents that have registered late over three times will be reminded by the Nursery Managers and may incur a charge for the first 15 minutes of £10. Any additional minutes after that period will be charged at £10.00 for every additional 10 minutes. You will receive a separate invoice for the incurring charges.
