Our Fees

From the term after their third birthday all children are entitled to fifteen hours per week in a registered early years setting. You will be asked to fill in an Early Years Grant Form and supply proof of your child's identification such as a birth certificate; the original document will need to be seen. This will be copied and returned to you immediately. Please ensure you do not leave the building without it. If for any reason your child is absent from a session; illness or holiday for example, it is essential that you inform Playgroup as soon as possible and preferably in writing. We are subject to regular checks of the register to ensure children are attending all the sessions claimed for. If for any reason Playgroup found itself in the position of being penalised for any un-notified absences, parents would be asked to refund the group for the lost revenue.

 

If you want your child to attend more than fifteen funded hours, or you are using the Early Years Grant at other settings, the sessional fee is £8.85 per session with a prompt payment discount of 15.25% and is billed half termly in advance. Prompt payment is requested, and any outstanding fees are subject to a 10% levy. Any parent having difficulty paying their fees should notify the administrator or chairperson immediately and further arrangements may be made. It is playgroup policy to go to court to recover unpaid fees.
