Fees and Times

Free Entitlement

On your behalf Tiny Tigers claims the government funding for all 3 and 4 year olds. This gives each child 15 hours free nursery education each week during term time.

For children who wish to only attend for the Free Entitlement - the hours are 14:00 - 17:00 Monday to Friday (children are able to bring their own tea, please speak to Mgt regarding arrangements).

Late Collection / Early Drop Off £10.00 per quarter hour, or part thereof.

A charge of £10 per quarter hour (or part) will be made in arrears if your child is collected after or dropped off before their scheduled nursery hours. If you notify us at least a day in advance, we will charge, in arrears, the appropriate hourly rate for early drop off or late collection.

Registration £50.00 (not applicable to free entitlement only)

A fee of £50 per child is payable to register to start at the Nursery or for a place on the Nursery waiting list. This will be used towards administration costs and is non-refundable.

Deposit £250.00 (not applicable to free entitlement only)

Having registered on our waiting list, we will contact you approximately 6-10 weeks before your requested starting date to inform you of place availability. To secure a confirmed place and start date for your child, parent must agree and sign the Nursery Contract and pay a deposit of £250 for each child. This deposit will be refunded on leaving the nursery or used to offset any unpaid fees.

Holidays

Full-time (i.e. 5 full days per week) children receive four weeks holiday allowance at no charge, while part time children who attend set days/sessions per week receive two times their weekly attendances at no charge. Reductions in Nursery Fees to reflect this discount are already included.

Absences and Illness

Regrettably all absences, for whatever reason, have to be paid for. If your child has a contagious illness, sickness or diarrhoea and/or is unhappy at nursery through illness, you may be requested to keep them from attending until well. This aims to prevent cross-infection and is in the best interest of all the children's welfare and consequently incurs fees.

Notice Of Withdrawal

One month's notice of withdrawal must be given in writing, otherwise one month's fees will be charged in lieu of notice. Children who leave at any time during a month will be charged the daily rate.

Changing Sessions

If you would like to change your child's days, we need one month's notice in writing. If the changes occur part way through a month you will be charged the daily rate for that month, the following month will then be charged at the pro rata rate.

Administration

All administration, e.g. requests for additional sessions, notice of withdrawal etc. should be in writing and directed to the Nursery Manager.

Payment Of Fees

Fees are payable by Standing Order or cheque five working days before the first day of the month. All fees that remain unpaid for more than 1 week will incur a surcharge of 5% of the full amount outstanding, a further 5% will then be charged for each subsequent until the debt is cleared. Prices are reviewed twice a year in April and October. Any nursery closure due to unforeseen circumstances, we have the right to charge full fees.
