LATE COLLECTION
Late collection will be charged at £10.00 per every 15 mins late (please be advised this will be charged for all late collections after a five minute grace period). We adhere to strict ratios and staff according to pre-booked hours of care, late collection compromises this.
All snacks, breakfast and tea are included in the fee for all children attending on a full time, full day or morning or afternoon session who attend the nursery on a full yearly basis.
GOVERNMENT FUNDING
All children who attend for funded only places on a termly basis, will be charged £2.25 weekly for snacks and £1.10p weekly for tea.
We can claim 2, 3 and 4 year old funding for all eligible children.
Starting from April 2024, existing childcare support will be expanded in phases. By September 2025, most working families with children under the age of 5 will be entitled to 30 hours of childcare support.
The changes are being introduced gradually to make sure that we as providers can meet the needs of more families. This means that:
From April 2024, eligible working parents of 2-year-olds will be able to access 15 hours childcare support.
From September 2024, 15 hours childcare support will be extended to eligible working parents of children from the age of 9 months to 3-year-olds.
From September 2025, eligible working parents with a child from 9 months old up to school age will be entitled to 30 hours of childcare a week.
Like the existing offer, depending on your provider, these hours can be used over 38 weeks of the year or up to 52 weeks if you use fewer than your total hours per week.
Parents will have the option to claim their funded hours Term time only or to stretch the funding across the 50 weeks of the year that the nursery is open (subject to availability).
All non-funded hours for full time eligible children will be charged at £5.30 during term time. The normal full time rate will be charged during non-term attendance.
We have limited spaces for term time only children, please be aware that if you choose to take up a place at Kids Co on this basis, all extra hours will be charged at the hourly rate of £6.70. Kids Co cannot guarantee sessions will remain the same from term to term, as priority will be given to children attending on a full year basis. Please discuss your requirements with the Nursery Manager if you wish your child to attend termly.
PAYMENT
Fees are payable in advance, before the first of the month they are due. A late charge of £20.00 will be automatically added to your bill if full payment is not made by the 5th of the month.
We accept all childcare vouchers and payments can be made by BACS, CASH, CHEQUE or CARD MACHINE.
To secure a place at Kids Co a £30.00 administration fee is required, this is non-refundable.
