All childcare and nursery fees must be paid in advance, but you can make payments by cash or card at Reception, by standing order directly to our bank account or by card over the phone. If fees are not paid in advance, a member of the Finance team will contact you, in person or by telephone. If there is no response to this reminder within four days, notice of termination of your child(ren)’s place(s) will be given and legal action may be taken to recover the outstanding balance. Additional sessions will not be provided in cases where accounts are not up to date.

All of our wonderful Derby nursery settings can provide delicious meals for a small cost which will be added to your nursery fees. This cost will apply for all funded sessions where breakfast, lunch or tea are served, as government funding does not cover the cost of meals or other consumables. We do, however, provide drinks and snacks at no extra cost, and sessions where meals are not served (and so free of a meal charge) are available. Meal charges are also not applied if 2 weeks’ notice of cancellation is given.

Full day-care nursery fees and out of school childcare may be paid for directly by parents, through voucher schemes and through tax free childcare. We also provide care funded by Care to Learn, Jobcentre + and other agencies. If you aren’t sure of the funding options that may be available to you at our Derby nursery settings, you can find further information about support with childcare costs on our funding page. We are more than happy to help you access any financial support or help you discover the funding options that may be available to you.
