Your childcare fees are payable monthly in advance on the 1st of each month by Standing Order, Childcare Vouchers or cash, we do not accept cheques. These are non-refundable in the event of your child’s absence. The fees are generally calculated by multiplying the weekly rate by 52 and dividing by 12. If you require changes to your child’s attendance which occur part way through a month the fees will be calculated on a daily rate for that month.
The nursery is open Monday – Friday 7:30am – 6:00pm, 52 weeks of the year with the exception of Bank Holidays, Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve. These fees are normally subject to annual review but may be revised at other times with reasonable notice.
We cannot swap sessions; if you wish to decrease/ amend your child’s attendance, we require one month’s written notice.
A non-refundable registration fee of £27.50 is payable on registration of your child. A deposit of £55.00 is charged when a place is booked at the nursery. This will be deducted from your final month’s fees provided one month’s written notice has been given and all fees are paid. If the required notice is not given, your deposit will not be refunded.
In the case of late payment of fees, or a payment being returned unpaid, an administration fee of £27.50 will be charged. We may suspend your child’s place if your account is overdue.
If Welsh Government change policy on payment of booked sessions then parents/ carers are responsible for payment of these fees. Parents are also responsible for payment of the notice period if Welsh Government change policy and opt not to pay this.
The nursery offers a 10% discount for siblings when both are invoiced for a full month of fees. The discount will be applied to the lowest invoiced amount. Wrap around and extra sessions and other charges will not qualify for discount. This does not apply to the school wrap around fees.
Parents must inform the nursery by 10am for morning sessions and by 2pm for afternoon sessions if their child is not attending the nursery that day, otherwise the nursery will assume a problem exists and will make all efforts to contact the parent/carer and or emergency contacts. If contact cannot be made by the nursery by 24 hours the local Area Child Protection Unit will be contacted for advice.
Your child must be collected by the end of their session. An additional fee of £10.00 for every 15 minutes or part thereof will be charged in the event of late collection.
Breakfast, a two-course lunch and a light tea are provided each day, along with morning and afternoon snacks. A menu is displayed in the nursery so that you know what your child will be offered to eat. The meals that are provided are healthy and nutritious. We must be informed of any dietary requirements before your child starts attending the nursery
Staff will endeavour to respect the dietary wishes of your child. These will be recorded on the initial Parent/Key Worker Consultation notes.
The nursery provides two free settling-in sessions, times and dates to be arranged to suit individual needs and preferences.
Parents/ carers will be allowed to stay and settle the child for as long as is agreed with the nursery manger. We recommend that you introduce your child gradually into the nursery routine. A named key worker will be allocated to your child.
The nursery welcomes all children and aims to respond appropriately to each child’s background and individual needs. We ask parents to give as much notice as possible if a child is disabled or has any additional needs. This will enable us to explore with parents and any outside agencies how we can provide most effectively for that child.
If your child is on any medication which has to be administered whilst attending the nursery, you must complete a medicine form giving instructions on times and dosage for each course. Written consent must also be given for the application of creams and lotions. There may be times when your child has a temperature (above 38.4℃). We require a signature for this prior to administering any medicine, such as infant paracetamol or ibuprofen
For the health and welfare of all children who come to the nursery we request that you do not bring your child onto nursery if they are ill or have an infectious disease and do not attend for at least 48 hours following the last episode of sickness and/or diarrhoea. We also ask that a child is to stay away from nursery for 48 hours following the commencement of anti-biotics. In the event of illness, accident or emergency we will act on your behalf and take such action as we consider appropriate. This may include taking your child from the nursery to seek medical attention. Every effort will be made to contact you immediately. We reserve the right to send any child home if senior staff feel that they are not well enough to attend nursery.
give permission to the nursery to take appropriate action in the event of illness, accident or emergency.
Due to a high temperature being a symptom of Covid-19 we are unable to administer any liquid paracetamol. If a child displays a temperature then staff have to immediately isolate the child and call parents and carers to collect.
The child must not attend the setting and the whole household must self-isolate for 14 days. The child must take a test if symptomatic. If the test is negative the child can return to our setting immediately, if positive then the absence must be for a minimum of ten days. Fun Foundations must be informed immediately about the test result. Fees are payable in full in these circumstances.

We sometimes organise trips for the children, which take them off the premises. We always make sure that we have enough staff and helpers for these occasions. We have insurance cover to take the children out but we will also require your written permission. We will be leaving the premises on a daily basis to visit the local amenities, such as the park, Physic Garden, Library, etc therefore we require your signature giving permission for this. Any other trips, parents will be asked to sign a separate consent form detailing the outing venue, the date and time, aims of the outing, the mode of transport (if any) and the adult / child ratio. A risk assessment will be carried out for all trips.
You are requested to share any concerns you may have with the Nursery Manager, or, if the Manager is absent, the Deputy Manager. Positive links between parents and staff are essential to promote the ongoing positive development of your child. We would appreciate any comments or suggestions that you may have that could be left (anonymously if preferred) in the Suggestion Box; this will enable us to ensure the best possible service for you and your child. We may also ask parents to complete questionnaires occasionally for the requirements of the CIW.
Occasionally we take photographs or videos of children in our nursery.
Your child will remain anonymous.
We only release children to parents / carers or authorised persons. We may also ask you to provide a personal password which can be used if you need someone else to collect your child; this needs to be a responsible person over the age of 16. If there is to be a change to the person who will be collecting your child you will need to contact the nursery and speak to the person in charge. If we are not informed, we cannot allow the child to leave. Please advise the adult collecting to provide photo identification on arrival at our setting..
