Nursery Afternoon Fees
We are looking forward to welcoming your child to North West in September. As you may be aware, for the past few years the Government has only provided Nursery funding for 15 hours per week, and we have had to charge a fee to parents for the other half of the Nursery provision. However, as you are probably aware, six years ago the Government introduced a new initiative to provide a means tested top-up for the additional 15 hours of Nursery in the afternoon.
If you are eligible for the additional 15 hour provision
If you have received your eligibility code, you will be covered for a total of 30 hours of our nursery service for the first term. As such, you will not be required to pay the full nursery afternoon fee of £3,750 per annum.
However, we provide more than 30 hours per week of nursery care. These additional hours will not be covered by the government’s provision. We have calculated the charge for the extra nursery provision above 30 hours to be £600 in total, or £200 per term. We will deduct this charge against the deposit you have already paid. As eligibility needs to be reconfirmed every 3 months, we will be staggering deposit refunds into 3 equal repayments each term [once eligibility has been confirmed].
If you are not eligible for the additional 15 hour provision
If parents are not eligible for the additional 15 hours or have not applied for the extra provision, they will need to fund the afternoon nursery provision themselves.
