Flexible, transparent pricing with no hidden surprises

At Heaton Park View Nursery, we aim to provide high-quality childcare that’s both accessible and affordable. This page outlines our fee structure, funding options, deposits, and payment terms — so you know exactly what to expect from day one.

💷 How Our Fees Work

Our fees are based on a monthly system and are invoiced in advance.

• Invoices are issued on the 1st of each month and must be paid in full and cleared by that date
• Fees are payable even during holidays, absences, or sickness, except during one week of closure at Christmas (please check nursery closure dates)
• Fee responsibility lies with the parent or carer who signs the registration agreement
• Late payments will incur a charge of £10 per week while fees remain outstanding

Fees are reviewed periodically. If a change is made, we will give at least one month’s written notice. If you do not wish to accept the revised fee, you may end the agreement with one month’s notice.

📚 What’s Included in Your Fees?

Our fees include:

• High-quality childcare and education tailored to your child’s development
• All snacks, drinks, and meals (unless stated otherwise)
• Access to Forest School, physical development sessions, and creative play
• Regular progress tracking and communication with parents and carers

💳 How to Pay

We accept the following payment methods:

• Direct Debit (preferred)
• Standing Order
• Childcare Vouchers
• Tax-Free Childcare (more info: childcarechoices.gov.uk)
• Cash or Cheque (must be receipted by the Nursery Manager)

🧾 Deposits & Booking a Place

To secure a place at Heaton Park View Nursery:

• A non-refundable deposit of one week’s fees is required
• This deposit will be deducted from your first month’s invoice
• If your child does not start nursery or the place is postponed, the deposit is non-refundable

📆 Session Fees & Funding

We offer flexible sessions and work closely with parents to provide affordable, high-quality childcare. A full breakdown of our fees and funded options is available upon request, but here are the key points:

• 15 and 30 hour funded places are available for eligible 2, 3, and 4-year-olds (check if you're eligible: gov.uk)
• Funded hours are delivered during term-time only (38 weeks) or stretched across the year depending on availability
• Funded places do not cover meals, snacks, or consumables, which may be charged separately

Please speak to the nursery manager for full details and current availability.

⏰ Late Payments & Outstanding Fees

We take timely payments seriously to ensure smooth running of the nursery:

• Payments not received and cleared by the 1st of the month are deemed late
• Late payments incur a £50 charge, which must be paid within 4 weeks
• Continued non-payment may result in suspension of childcare provision, and one month’s notice will be added to the termination of your child’s place

🏖️ Holiday Club

We run a Holiday Club for children during school breaks. This service is available to both current nursery children and older siblings (subject to availability).

• £22 per full-day session

Ideal for working parents who need care during term breaks in a fun, engaging environment.
