Admissions, Fees and Application Form
Our Admissions Policy which forms part of our Certificate of Registration is freely available for you to see here.
The prices quoted are for a full-time place and are adjusted for a part-time place. Fees can be paid by Direct Debit as well as by cash, child care vouchers and payment must be received in advance. A compulsory deposit of four weeks’ fees is required when you accept a place and this will be refunded provided you give us one month’s notice before your child leaves. Please speak with the Manager to arrange payment for the deposit in instalments.
No space can be save for your child if it is not paid for. If you are consistently in arrears it is our policy to stop your child from attending or reduce attendance until all fees are paid up to date (see arrears policy).
