Meals per child:
All of your child’s nutritional needs will be provided for throughout the day – please see the Menu plan for details
*For children under 1 year old, parents must provide their meals, snacks and milk. There is no price reduction for this, in view of the extra attention and needs that a child of this age has.
Holidays:
Bank / public holidays – Half fees will be charged for bank or public holidays although the nursery will be closed
Your holidays – half fee due up to 4 weeks per annum, with at least 4 weeks notice, in writing if possible, to avoid any misunderstandings; then full fee will be required for holidays in excess of 4 weeks
Christmas holidays – The nursery will be closed the week between Christmas and the New Year and half fees will be charged.
Illness:
If your child is ill and absent – full fee will be due and as much notice requested as possible. Please see the Sickness and Exclusion policy for more information
Payments:
We require a deposit of £100 per child to secure a place. £50 will be retained in lieu of any unpaid fees or incidental charges that I have incurred on your behalf. The total amount of the deposit is non-refundable if the place is cancelled.
Fees are payable in advance to be received by the 1st day of each month by cash, childcare vouchers or electronic transfer – details issued at the time of signing contracts. Receipts are not issued for all monthly fee payments, instead, we will sign your copy of the invoice on receipt of full payment, if required.
Late payments:
For payments made after 1st day of the month, we will charge a penalty of £10 per day, at our discretion.
Additionally, if your invoice runs into an arrears situation we reserve the right to withdraw our childcare services until full payment has been made, since the terms of our contract have been violated.
Refunds:
There will be no refunds for any sickness or other unarranged absence. You will be refunded £50 from your initial deposit from the first month’s fees.
General:
Each child will be offered a free, 2-hour trial settling-in session and may visit accompanied by a parent, for several short visits prior to this
Charges for any activities outside nursery will be charged retrospectively and invoiced the following month.
A contract, child record form and additional consent forms must be completed by all parties before childcare can commence.
Termination of contract:
We require at least 4 weeks written notice of the termination of our contract
If Little Red Hen day nursery issues the termination notice, you will be given 4 weeks written notice, with the leaving date along with an explanation.
In both cases above, the final months’ invoice will show a balance of payments, including your deposit refund. In either of the above cases, if you choose to withdraw your child immediately, you would forfeit your deposit and any monies already paid for that month.
