Costing and Provision Policy

Provision Dates:
We provide childcare:
Monday to Friday
8:30am until 5:30pm
(We can be flexible if our routine allows.)
Covering term time through the year. More recently covering some holidays with negotiation.  
We generally close for half terms.
We close for Christmas school holidays.
We close for Easter school holidays.
 
In addition to this we provide childcare all of July.
We are closed for August.
We return at the beginning of September.
As we approach each holiday we work with our families to offer ‘extra days’ to help out where we can. These are offered with no obligation for you to take them. Should you decide that they are not needed, there is no cost. 
Costing
We charge:
From 0 – 4 ½ hours we will charge £7 per hour and pro rata for part hour up to the half day amount of £30.00.

For the rest of the day we will charge from the half day amount (£30) on an hourly rate of £7 per hour or part hour until we reach the full day of 9 hours and the full day rate of £60.
e.g.
0830 hours to 1200 hours= 3 ½ hours is £24.50.
0830 hours to 1300 hours = 4 ½ hours is £30, making a saving of £1.50.
0830 hours to 1500 = 6 ½ hours is £30 plus £14 = £44
0830 hours to 1730 hours in a full day of 9 hours is £60 making a saving of £3.
 
Pick up and drop off
£8 per hour and pro rata per part hour. 


We will attempt to implement a 10% discount for second child depending on our capacity at the time. 

The price includes food and snacks and regular trips.
Parents provide nappies, creams and wipes.
Parents may want to provide ‘favourite snacks’, baby milk / formula and any very ‘special food’, in addition to what we will provide.
  • We charge £8 an hour for wrap-around-care, handling drop offs and pick-ups for school aged children in local schools. This care also finishes at 5.30.
  • We may need to agree a minimum of 2 days a week to make the place you hold viable if there is a demand for the space. (For example if you are taking 2 half days, where someone needs 2 full days.)
  • Any part of an hour counts as an hour.
  • If a child misses a session/day through their illness, or that of a parent, payment is still made. Payment is also made for your family holidays in term time.
  • If a session / day is missed due to our illness, payment is refunded.
  • Payment is made a week in advance.
  • Prices are reviewed annually in September.
