Fees & Funding (copy 2)
Joyful Star Nursery is open for 49 weeks of the year, closing on bank holidays, one week during Christmas, two weeks during the school summer holidays and three inset days.
Before registering your child, we invite you to visit the nursery for a personal tour. This is an opportunity to look around our setting, meet our team and ask any questions you may have about our nursery, routines and approach.
If you have any questions about our registration process or would like to set up a viewing, please contact us!
Sessions & Fees
Our fees include all meals, snacks and drinks which are prepared onsite. Nappies and wipes are to be provided by the parent/carer.
- Full Day Session (More than 7 hours) £60.00
- Half-Day Session (5 hours) £35.00
- Hourly Rate £7.00
Please note, we aim to be quite flexible with our sessions. If you have certain requirements, please do not hesitate to speak to us and we will do our best to accommodate your needs.
For children accessing 15 or 30 hours free childcare and require additional hours to their weekly entitlement, a separate fee structure is applied during term times. Please contact us for more details.
Deposit
A deposit of a two-week fee is required at the time of registration. The deposit will be refunded to you once your child leaves the nursery provided a minimum of one month’s notice is given.
Offers & discounts
- Sibling discount- We are happy to offer a 5% discount on the second sibling of the two children. They must be attending our nursery at the same time and be registered to attend nursery for a minimum of four full days
- Make a recommendation- Existing parents/carers can receive £100 off their nursery fees by making a recommendation, provided the new child is registered to attend the nursery for a minimum of four full days. The parent recommending the new child will receive the discount once the child has attended the nursery for 3 months
Early Education Funding
The government have created a scheme called the Free Early Education Entitlement which offers children between the ages of 2-4 up to 30 hours of funded childcare.
Children aged 3 and 4 years old may be eligible for up to 30 hours of funded childcare while children aged 2 may be eligible for 15 hours of funded childcare each week. A child becomes eligible a term after their 2nd or 3rd birthday for either 15 or 30 hours of funded nursery education per week during term times.
We charge a weekly consumables fee, which covers all meals, snacks and drinks. Please contact us for more details.
