Payment

Our Nursery Fees

Please Contact Us to find out the current nursery fees.

The Government has recently introduced a number of measures including Employer Childcare Voucher Schemes and Nursery Education Grants to help parents with the cost of childcare. Both schemes may assist you with payment of our nursery fees. For further details on how these schemes work please see below.

Employer Childcare Voucher Schemes

The 2004 Finance Act enables employers to operate childcare voucher schemes where employees receive vouchers for childcare instead of part of their salary.

The vouchers are free of tax and national insurance for the employee and the employer is exempt from paying employer's national insurance on the value of the vouchers. Both employees and employers therefore save money this way.

There are limits on the value of the vouchers that the employee can receive each year. There are also a number of important rules that employees, employers and childcare providers must follow to ensure the voucher scheme qualifies for the necessary tax status. For more information please see the Revenue and Customs website.

We are registered with a variety of voucher providers to enable you to pay for your childcare this way.

Nursery Education Grants

The Government has also introduced a Nursery Education Grant to provide free early education places for 3 and 4 year olds.

The grant is paid by the Local Education Provider direct to the nursery, not to the parent. It covers up to five 2½ hour sessions up to 38 weeks of the year. Children become eligible for a free place from the start of the term after their third birthday.
