Funding

The fees for two and half year olds are charged at an hourly rate. Please contact the Nursery directly for further details. Our hourly rates, registration fee and deposit are all subject to annual review. The fees are payable within 7 days of the date of the invoice. You are required to pay for every reserved session, even if your child is absent due to illness or other reasons, and you must give a term’s notice of any change in your child’s attendance, otherwise you will be charged for one term’s fees.

Seer Green Nursery qualifies for full funding for three and four year olds through Flexible Free Entitlement for 38 weeks a year. Your child will qualify for funding the term after their third birthday. For funding purposes there are set dates to define term times:

Claim forms are sent to the parents of eligible children before the end of the previous term.

Each child is entitled to 5 funded sessions of 3 hours per week, however Seer Green Nursery only offers 12 hours per week initially. All children attend 15 hours in their final year at Nursery prior to leaving for school. While your child is on 12 hours per week, you are entitled to use the additional 3 hours at another setting. If you do, please keep us informed and complete a Sessions Declaration Form.

Voluntary Contributions

The fees and funding provided to the Nursery enable it to meet its day to day running costs throughout the year.  However, we rely heavily on fundraising and any voluntary donations to pay for any other investment in the Nursery, such as toys, games, supplies and inevitable repair and replacement costs.  The suggested donation is currently £50 a term, but any donation that is made is gratefully received.

Gift Aid

Gift aid is tax relief on money donated to UK charities. When you start at the Nursery we will send you a declaration form that can be made out to cover individual donations, a series of donations, donations made during a specified period or to cover all donations.
