First Steps Nursery Fees  

Please see below weekly costs for Parents using the Government Childcare Funding 
 
At First Steps Nursery we stretch the Government Childcare Funding over 50 weeks, to claim 30 hours funding 3 days need to be attended, if attending only 2 days 15 hours funding will be claimed. Government funding is reflected on your invoice as £0. Parents will be invoiced for the cost of the remaining hours after the funded hours have been deducted, this will vary according to the age of your child. To fully enjoy our enhanced provision and all meals and snacks, the term after your child reaches 3 years old, we ask for a £1 per funded hour voluntary contribution, which is added to your invoice. Fees are to be paid by the 1st day of each month. As the funding is stretched over 50 weeks, a reduced amount of funded hours are delivered each week. The remaining 2 weeks (not funded) are allocated over the Christmas period. During this time on the days we are closed, fees are chrged at 50%. The Nursery is closed on all Bank Holidays.
