Fees at The Corner House Day Nursery
Fees are reviewed annually in January and are paid monthly in advance on the first of the month by standing order or bank transfer, unless special arrangements have been authorised. We do offer a limited number of free places to disadvantaged families. Please speak to the manager for more details.
Registration Fee
There is a registration fee of £100 payable at the time of reserving a place for your child, which is non refundable.
Information on fees is available from nursery management.
Deposits
There is a deposit payable of £100 for part-time and £200 for full-time. The deposit is deducted from the last month’s fees if they are paid up to date. There is no registration fee or deposit required for totally funded places. Please note that if you have additional non-funded hours on top of funded hours, then registration and deposit rules apply.
Fees
As per our terms and conditions, fees are payable in advance on or before the first of the month and fees paid after the 1st are liable to a 20% late payment charge. Due to the extended funding outlined by new Government changes, there is no longer basic fee structure. Your fees will be calculated depending on the amount of funding you receive (if eligible).
You will be given an invoice with your funded hours deducted, which will detail other charges applied, such as for food. Your fees will change per term due to the Goverment’s new funding structure, and invoices will be issued per term, detailing your monthly payments per term. However, if you require a monthly invoice, please speak to the nursery manager.
Discounts
We offer a 10% discount to siblings and a 10% full-time discount.

Additionally, 15-hour funding is available for working parents of children from 9 months old, subject to specific terms and conditions based on the child’s age at the start of each term. From September 2025, this will be extended to 30 hours funding.

Absences
We do not offer reductions or alternative days for any absences. This also applies to parental holidays. Extended absence could affect our ability to claim funding.

It is the policy of the Corner House Day Nursery Ltd that if any parent is pate collecting their child from the Nursery, we have no alternative but to charge a fee. This will be £5 then £1 for every 5 minutes thereafter.
Notice periods
If you wish to withdraw your child from Nursery, you are required to give six weeks’ notice. If this amount of notice is not given, you will lose your deposit.
