Payment Terms

  • Fees are annualised, Invoices remain the same, including when the nursery is closed for bank holidays and training days. Fees are calculated over 51 weeks, ensuring parents are not charged for the Christmas break.
  • Fees are payable monthly in advance by the 1st of each month. Payments received later than the 4th of the month will incur a 10% late payment penalty.
  • All fees must be paid by Direct Debit, Tax free childcare or childcare vouchers unless pre-authorised.
  • All sessions contracted for must be paid for, No reductions are made for time off due to holidays, sickness or other absences. You can book additional sessions if the setting has the availability to accommodate them. Two months written notice is required if you wish to cancel your child’s place or reduce/change their sessions.

Nursery Education Funding

We are approved providers of the early years educational grant for eligible 9-month-olds, 2-year-olds, 3-year-olds, and 4-year-olds. We will provide you with all the necessary information and parent declaration forms to complete as your child becomes eligible. However it is your responsibility to apply for your funding code from the government and renew this as required.

Visit www.childcarechoices.gov.uk for more information on funding and fee support – and to apply for your 30 hours funding code.

Please note that this funding covers education only and does not include additional costs such as sundries, activities, visits, and hot meals. Therefore, optional daily fees may apply for these extras. Details of these can be found on our nursery fee calculator.

Registration & Deposit

  • A non-refundable administration fee of £55 is required to register your child. This covers the costs of setting your child up on our waiting list system (please note this is not required when you register for a fully funded space).
  • A £100 deposit is required to hold the place. This deposit is refunded off your last bill subject to the nursery account being up to date.
  • Should this deposit be used to hold a space where only entitlement hours are used and no optional extras, extra hours, or food, then it is refunded off the first full month’s bill.
  • If the parent postpones the start date after confirmation, Trilakes Nursery & Pre-School reserves the right to charge from the original agreed start date.
