New Nursery Fees 2026
With revised fees payable from 1st January 2026, please can you ensure your various Payment Schemes are amended accordingly.
Late Collection
All children attending 8am–1pm must be collected no later than 1pm. This is a requirement due to the child staff ratios and the afternoon children attending. Could we please remind you also that the nursery does close at 6.00 pm and fees for late collection will automatically be added to your account.
Supervised Tooth Brushing
Starting from January 2026, we kindly request that all parents supply their child or children with a toothbrush, toothpaste, and a wash bag clearly labelled with your child's name. This will ensure that their toothbrush and toothpaste can be stored properly. Staff members will take the children into the bathroom in small groups once a day for tooth brushing sessions, during which practitioners will discuss the importance of maintaining dental hygiene. Please remember that toothbrushes should be replaced every three months, or sooner if the bristles begin to fray.
Children's Christmas Party
The children’s Christmas party will take place on Tuesday 16th December from 3.00pm- 4.30pm. If your child/ren do not attend nursery on a Wednesday, your child is more than welcome to attend but we ask that they are accompanied by a parent/ carer. Unfortunately, siblings will not be able to attend. If you could inform the nursery practitioners in your child’s room know if you intend to come, this would be greatly appreciated.
