The daily nursery fee is £65/£62. If parents need early morning it is going to cost extra (15 min – £5, 30min – £8). Children’s three meals and two snacks are included in the price.

Parents who get government-funded hours have to pay for meals because meals are not included in the price. The daily cost for meals – is £7.

On registering a child with the nursery, a contracting parent will sign to say they agree with the nursery policy on fee payment.

The nursery leaves the right to recalculate the fees every year at the end of the financial year (before April)- parents will be informed about changes 4 weeks before the fees rise or as soon as possible before April starts.

Fees are payable 1 week in advance, and the deposit is for 2 weeks. Every child may use the opportunity to have 2 free of charge weeks per year for holidays.

The second child from the same family receives a 30% discount. (Lower fee)

Where a parent suggests that a fee due will be paid by the other parent, the parent is immediately reminded of the contracting parent’s regulations. The nursery will, of course, accept payment from the other parent, but if payment is not made on time it is the contracting parent to whom the nursery will turn, in accordance with the contracting parent policy.

In all cases, fees are payable weekly by the 1^st day of the week in advance and cover all sessions for which the child is enrolled – including any sessions not attended by the child for instance due to illness or absence or holidays.

In case of a child’s long-lasting illness, payment for the first week will be full, for the second week- a half and the third week of illness is free. Note or information about the child’s health from the doctor is necessary if the Parents wish to have a discount for a prolonged absence caused by illness.

 Late and Non-Payment of Fees Policy

The nursery would try to avoid any situation which would lead to a dispute between the nursery and the parent over the late payment or, in extreme cases, non-payment of fees.

The parents must understand that non-payment of fees may jeopardize the place.

We accept payments to our Nursery bank account, and on very rare occasions, in cash.

Our Treasurer Svetlana Karpaviciene suggests doing the transfer on Monday, that on Friday the payment should be seen on our bank online account. If on Friday your payment will not be found- you will receive a reminder. If the full fee will not reach the account by next Friday (£0 balance) – you will be charged £5 pound of fine.

If the payment has not been settled in full in 4 weeks the Nursery can then demand that the parents of the child withdraw the nursery place until all monies have been settled in full.

After 8 weeks of Non-payment court proceedings will be initiated. All legal and court costs will be included in the final bill amount outstanding including any tracing fees.

If a parent at any time experience payment difficulties please talk to the

Nursery Manager, who will endeavor to help with any situation,

If the child no longer wishes to use the place, parents must agree to give one month’s notice of their intention to leave and should understand that they will be required to pay the fees due during the whole notice period or may decide that the last two weeks can be free of charge just to return deposit money.

The fees may be subject to periodic reviews, increases will be notified at least one month in advance.

 Deposit Policy

The Nursery, accepting the child for the place, is asking for a 2 weeks deposit, which must be paid as soon as possible before the first full day in the Nursery. This is how Nursery Moksliukas secure a place for a child and are not going to offer a place to another one. Nursery Moksliukas is going to ask to fill a security deposit form when the deposit payment will be done in advance.

The amount of the deposit depends on the number of scheduled to attend days per week, e.g. if the child comes to the Nursery for five days- parents pay 10 days deposit, if the child attends 3 days – the deposit will be the size of 6 days.

If during the year the parents wish to change the number of attended days, they will be asked to add the rest of the sum to the deposit to cover the full price of the deposit of 2 weeks.
