Fees & Funding

A non-refundable fee of £25.00 is payable upon registration along with a completed Registration Pack. This will enable your child to be added to the Waiting List. We will then contact you when a suitable place is available for your child.

When offering places we prioritise:
• Attending children looking to increase their sessions;
• Siblings of attending children.
• Children on our waiting list looking for a full-time place;
• Children on our waiting list whose preferred start date and sessions match the available space.

 Prior to your child's start date a deposit is required of £200 for full time attendance or £100 for part time attendance. This will be refunded one month after your child has left, however any outstanding payments will be deducted. The parent/guardian's attention is drawn to the Terms and Conditions with regard to the return or forfeit of the deposit (please contact our nursery Manager for a copy). 

Fees can be paid by Direct Debit, bank transfer, Tax Free Childcare, childcare vouchers, Enjoy Benefits Scheme or a combination of these. The payments vary depending on the number of sessions you choose.

The fees include breakfast, snacks, lunch and tea.

There is no refund for any absence from the nursery, for Bank Holidays or the two weeks during Christmas and New Year. The parent/guardian's attention is drawn to the Terms and Conditions (please contact the nursery manager for a copy).

Sibling Discount - we offer a discount of 10% on the child with the lower fees.

NHS Discounts - our setting offer a discount to NHS employees, ask the nursery for more details.

At Sweet cuddles we aim to keep nursery costs as low as possible, whilst providing a very high standard of care and education, but you may be able to substantially reduce your childcare costs by applying for government funding.

We accept both types of  over 2/ 3s funding: Universal Entitlement (15 hours childcare per week, during term time, available to all children over the age of 3) and Extended Entitlement (an additional 15 hours during term time, eligibility for this depends on your income and hours worked).
