  • FEES PAYMENT AND POLICY

    With effect from the 1st September 2025
  • On registration of your child you will receive a letter confirming your child’s nursery fees unless they are accessing free 15 hour entitlement only. It is parent/carers responsibility to ensure that nursery fees are received and paid by the due date.

    Monthly fees are calculated by the daily charge, multiplied by the number of days attended per week, multiplied by 51(weeks of the year the nursery is open) and then divided by 12 (months of the year). This calculation then means that you pay the same amount regardless of how many weeks are in each month.

    Fees must be paid in advance by standing order or bank transfer on the first day of each month. It may be possible with agreement from the director to pay fees on a weekly or daily basis. Fees must then be paid in advance for that week or day PRIOR to leaving your child at nursery. If payment is not received in advance we may refuse to let your child attend nursery until fees are paid and may also terminate your child’s nursery space requiring you also to pay the months’ notice period. Please note that it sometimes can take up to five days for payments to reach our account once they have been sent from your account.

    It is important that you pay the exact and correct figure along with using the correct fee payment reference as stated in your acceptance letter or when we have had a

    fee increase. 

    Invoices
    Little Learners DO NOT invoice parents/carers on a monthly, weekly basis for nursery fees as you are advised the amount of your nursery fees in your acceptance letter and these should not change unless you have increased or decreased your sessions, in which case you will receive an amended acceptance letter. If fees are not paid by the due date a late payment fee of £20.00 will be added and an invoice will be raised incurring an administration fee of £10.00.

    Tax Credits / Universal Credit
    Please note that the HMRC do check with the nursery from time to time what days your child attends nursery and how much parents are required to pay for their child’s space, so please keep them informed of any changes for example a reduction in sessions or entitlement to early years funding which will mean a reduction of nursery fees. We have a legal obligation to share information with them. Should you require any letters to confirm payment of nursery fees, please note that we will require for you to bring in your original request letter, text or email. We will then forward the letter to them direct within 7 working days. Any tax credit, invoice or letter requests should be sent to accounts@little-learners.net 

    College / University / Care to Learn and any other funded payments
    We are happy to accept funded payments from colleges and universities, however will need confirmation that they will be paying the correct amount PRIOR to reserving a space for your child. When we need to complete funding forms for colleges and universities we will need to be the LAST person to complete this form and we will complete, copy for the file and return this form to the college or university DIRECT within 7 working days. Should your funding provider fail to pay your child’s nursery fees for whatever reason (i.e. non-attendance at college) then please note YOU will be liable for payment of fees including a one month’s notice period. You will be responsible for any shortfall in payments from your funded payments.

    Vouchers
    We are happy to accept nursery vouchers and are registered with most voucher companies. Should you make an overpayment by voucher and do not wish to carry it over to the next month, please note that we have to return any voucher payments direct to the voucher company. When you first register with a voucher company please advise us which voucher company you will be using and how much you will pay each month.

     

    Late Payment
    Payments not received by the due date will incur an invoice administration fee of £10.00 plus surcharge of £20.00 as a late payment fee. We may withdraw your child’s place from nursery until payment is received and may terminate your child’s space should we not receive funds within a reasonable amount of time. Any outstanding fees, additional charges and notice in lieu not received within a period of one month will automatically be dealt with through the county court or small claims court and may be forwarded onto a debt collection agency. Additionally court fees, legal fees and agency charges will be added until the debt is paid off in full or an alternative agreement has been made.

    Absenteeism
    If your child is absent from nursery due to sickness, long term holidays, family holidays or any other reason full payment is required and no refunds will be given. Fees are due in advance and for the duration of any holidays. This is because we still have to pay for staff salaries, utility bills etc whilst your child is absent from nursery.

    Statutory Holidays and Other Closures
    Payment is required in full for 4 staff training days per annum, Bank holidays and statutory holidays. The nursery will be closed from 12.30pm on Christmas Eve and will re-open the second working day of the New Year, the first working day being staff training day. You are not charged for the week at Christmas as fees are calculated on 51 weeks of the year.

    Should the nursery have to close for a short period of time due to unforeseen circumstances such as severe weather conditions, riots, acts of god etc, no refunds will be given.

    Sibling Discount
    Sibling discount is offered on permanent sessions fees only and not additional sessions booked and is 10 percent off the older child’s fees. The sibling discount does not apply to registration fees.  

    Reducing/Changing sessions
    If you wish to reduce the number of days/sessions your child attends we require one calendar month’s written notice. It is your responsibility to ensure we receive the correct written notice. Once we have received your notice we will inform you of space availability as it is not always possible to choose the days or sessions that you require as we have a certain amount of full time and part time spaces and sessions. Please note that under NO CIRCUMSTANCES are we able to swap sessions, unless this is a permanent request and we have availability.

    Notice of Leaving
    If you wish to terminate your child’s space for any reason at Little Learners Day Nursery we require one calendar month’s notice in writing or one month’s fees in lieu. If we do not see your child at nursery and fees have not been paid for a period of two weeks and we have been unable to reach your via telephone/email, we will then write to you to ask you to let us know the current situation and we will give you a date to respond. If you fail to respond by this date we will assume that you no longer need your space so your one month’s notice will take effect from that date. You will then be invoiced and liable for the outstanding amounts including your one month’s notice period. If your child has left nursery and you have failed to cancel your nursery fee payments or nursery voucher payments, please note that there will be a £35 charge for each payment that we have to refund. If your account is in arrears we may terminate your child’s space with immediate effect and you will be invoiced the outstanding balance, failure to pay the outstanding by the date given will result in the outstanding amount being transferred to court or a debt collection agency.

     

    Additional Sessions and Early and Late Fees
    Please note that these additional sessions should be paid for IN ADVANCE prior to the session and no invoice will be raised. Failure to pay in advance will mean an invoice will be processed with an administration fee being added along with a late payment fee. Once you have booked additional days or sessions these cannot be cancelled as you have prevented someone else from having that session.

    Late Collection of Children
    For insurance purposes and in order to ensure that the staff do not exceed their contracted hours, you will be charged should you be late to collect your child at the end of their session. You will be charged £10.00 for collections between 1 minute and 15 minutes late, thereafter £10.00 for every 15 minutes or part thereof. So if you are due to collect at 1.00pm and arrive at 1.20pm then you will be charged £20.00. Payment of late collection fees are due within 7 days from the date you collected your child late or will incur further late payment fees.

    Recruitment Fee
    Should you offer any of our staff team employment within a period of 12 months of your child leaving our setting, then we will charge a recruitment introduction fee of £4,000 for a member of staff holding a nursery nurse position with us, £4,500 for a member of staff holding a room leader or third in charge position with us and £5,000 if you offer a member of our management team employment. For safeguarding and data protection reasons, the nursery staff are NOT permitted to babysit for nursery children. 

    Annual Fee Review
    In July there is an annual fee review of fees and you will be notified of any changes, which will take effect from the beginning of September. If you fail to amend your standing order or bank transfer payments to the correct amount then you will automatically be issued with an invoice, which will incur a £10 administration fee plus a £20 late payment fee, this will continue for subsequent payments each time until you have amended your payment to the correct amount.

We may withdraw your child’s place from nursery until payment is received.

  • GDPR PRIVACY NOTICE

  • At Little Learners Day Nursery we take privacy very seriously and we are currently updating all our records to ensure that we are fully meeting the new data protection standards (General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)).
     
    We are registered with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).
     
    The categories of children's information that we collect, hold and share include:
    • personal information (such as name, address, date of birth)
    • characteristics (such as ethnicity, language, nationality, country of birth, early years pupil premium eligibility)
    • attendance information (such as sessions attended, number of absences and absence reasons)
    • observations and assessment information and tracking of progress
    • medical information
    • information on special educational needs and disabilities (including if accessing Disability Living Allowance and entitled the Disability Access Fund)
    • referrals to other relevant services
    • safeguarding information
     
    We also collect, hold and share some information on the children's parents/guardians:
    • personal information (names, address, contact numbers and emails)
    • National Insurance number
     
    Why we collect and use this information
    We use the children's and parents' data to:
    • support their learning and development, to enable staff to plan suitable activities to extend their knowledge and skills
    • ensure that all children are safe within our childcare provision
    • monitor and report on their progress
    • provide appropriate behavioural and emotional support as required
    • assess the quality of our services as a childcare provider
    • comply with the law regarding data sharing (GDPR)
    • meet the requirements of the early years foundation stage (EYFS)
    • make claims for funding
     
    The lawful basis on which we use this information
    We collect and use children's information under the following lawful bases:
    • Contract: the processing is necessary for a contract we have with you the parents/guardian of the child to provide childcare and the contract that we have with the local authority to provide funded childcare to eligible families.
    • Legal obligation: the processing is necessary for us to comply with the law (submitting data for the early years census).
     
    Collecting children’s information
    While the majority of children's information you provide to us is mandatory, some of it is provided to us on a voluntary basis. In order to comply with the GDPR, we will inform you whether you are required to provide certain children's information to us or if you have a choice in this.
     
    Storing children's data
    We are required to hold children's data for a reasonable period of time after children have left the provision (eg until after the next Ofsted inspection) as a requirement under the EYFS. The Limitation Act 1980 recommends that we retain data until the child reaches the age of 21 - or until the child reaches the age of 24 for child protection records.
    Your data will be held securely and will only be accessible by staff who are authorised to do so.
     
    Who we share children's information with
    We routinely share children's information with:
    • schools that the child attends after leaving our provision
    • other local childcare providers where the child is engaging currently (wrap around or blended childcare)
    • our local authority (for funding claims and the early years census)
    • the DfE (annual early years census)
    • special education needs co-ordinators
    • NHS services (health visitors and speech and language therapists)
     
    Why we share children’s information
    We do not share information about our children with anyone without your consent unless the law and our policies allow us to do so.
    We share children’s data with the DfE on a statutory basis. We are required to submit data to our local authority [name the local authority] for them to submit as part of the annual early years census in January and to access childcare funding.
     
    Data collection requirements
    To be granted access to children's information, organisations must comply with strict terms and conditions covering the confidentiality and handling of the data, security arrangements and retention and use of the data.
     
    Requesting access to your personal data
    Under data protection legislation, parents and children have the right to request access to information about them that we hold. To make a request for your personal information, or be given access to your child's early years record, contact Jo Bennett.
    You also the right to: 
    • object to processing of personal data that is likely to cause, or is causing, damage or distress
    • prevent processing for the purpose of direct marketing
    • object to decisions being taken by automated means
    • in certain circumstances, have inaccurate personal data rectified, blocked, erased or destroyed
    • claim compensation for damages caused by a breach of the Data Protection Regulations.
