If no payment is received the nursery place will be suspended with immediate effect and will not be reinstated until the arrears are paid in full; places will be subject to availability. Further action will be taken to recover any outstanding fees.

All sessions booked must be paid for, regardless of whether your child attends. No refunds will be given for sessions missed due to holidays or sickness. Failure to meet payments will result in the termination of the Nursery place and in such circumstances the parents will not be entitled to a refund of any fees or deposits.
