Terms and Conditions:

All fees include free settling-in sessions
The extras above are standard for private fee sessions
Fees also include a dedication to sustainability and our valuable ethos which unfortunately costs a lot more than not.
In house laundry service for washable wipes, flannels and nappies.
All extra hours on top of regular sessions are full price and include meals and snacks during that time
We have a restricted amount of stand-alone funded spaces which fall into specific sessions either morning or afternoon. These should be enquired about to management on an individual basis. Children who have been identified as needing support, whether it be developmental, social or emotional are prioritised for fully funded spaces.
Changing sessions and leaving requires a notice period of one month.
Opting out requires a notice period of one month.
Children must not be dropped at the nursery until their booked session time.
Consistent lateness cannot be accommodated for reasons of legal ratios and the safe care of all of the children. Therefore, lateness could result in revision of a space in the nursery and a late fee.
A minimum of 2 sessions weekly are regulatory to ensure each child gains the most out of being with us.
Sessions cannot be swapped
Fees increase every Sept with 8 weeks notice

Payment Terms:

Your particular methods of payment and any relevant codes must be detailed to Louise on Famly before your first invoice payment
All payments must have the reference of your child’s name, not your own
Childcare vouchers accepted by electronic transfer only (payments must be clearly referenced with child’s name).
Tax Free Childcare payments are welcome. Please ensure you message Louise on Famly with your code for our records
You can check your payments on your invoice system on Famly. Please give payments time to show up on here as they may not be recorded immediately.
Monthly fees are calculated as a weekly total multiplied by 50 weeks and divided by twelve
We hold 2 inset days and are closed for bank holidays and the Christmas period. These are already deducted from your monthly invoice as above so this will not change over these times
Inset days are distributed fairly and you will be given 8 weeks’ notice for planning. They are used for training and team building
Late payment fee of £25 will be issued on next invoice if payment is made later than the 8th of the month
If your child is ill or nursery is forced to close you are still liable for payment for your sessions
If you are on holiday, you are still liable for payment for your sessions
Postponements of start dates require one months’ notice and will be agreed or otherwise at management discretion
Your first month’s invoice will be registration fee plus month ahead pro rata (calculated as a % of the month). Thereafter fees are paid by BACS before the 8th of each month.
Extras are added in arrears
The refundable deposit is £200. If you need to cancel the place during the first three months prior to the agreed start date, Young Friends Kindergarten will retain the place deposit. Deposits are returned the month after leaving the nursery and after full settlement of final invoice including any extras taken.
We provide funding all year round, so 15 hours which is provided for 38 weeks of the year, becomes 11.4, and 30 hours becomes 22.8. Please see our Early Years Free Entitlement Policy for detailed information.
Fees are reviewed and adjusted every Sept.
