OUR FEES
Year Round Attendance:
Year round attendance is charged over 52 weeks in the year, which includes bank holidays and nursery closures which are chargeable.
If your required hours are above your funding entitlement your bill will be worked out over the year so this will be the same each month. Weekly fees x 52 weeks / 12 months = a monthly amount. If a child starts, leaves or changes sessions mid month, charging will revert to calendar monthly charging for that month and then return back to normal for the coming months.
Term Time Attendance:
At Butterflies we only offer term time placed for teachers. If you require a term time only place, please make the nursery manager aware of this as soon as possible.
Nursery term dates are 39 weeks and we follow the Surrey County Council term dates.
If you require hours in the holidays, you will be charged the rate without funding. Please let the nursery manager know as soon as possible.
Our free places are limited, and are prioritised for those receiving Government Assistance. Funded hours are provided to cover the basic provision of childcare and are not intended to cover the costs of meals, other consumables, additional hours or additional activities.
To cover the essential and extra costs during these hours, we will ask for a voluntary contribution of £1.50 per hour.
Invoices
Invoices will be sent out via email before the payment due date of the 1st of each month.
Non attendance
Non-attendance for holidays, birthdays, family days out etc. will still be chargeable. If you have prolonged periods of absence the amount of funding being allocated may have to be reviewed as per the local authorities guidelines.
Cost for essentials and extras
Butterflies operates on an all-inclusive basis, which is reflected in our private fee. If you’re paying the private fee without any funding applied, it covers everything including meals.
Government funding is seriously insufficient. It is only calculated to cover the absolute basic cost of providing childcare, and does not cover the other costs of running a nursery, such as nutritious meals and snacks, consumable items like sun cream and arts & Crafts materials, educational outings, special events, light, heat, etc. As a result, we ask for a voluntary contribution towards our essentials & extras cost to funded hours only, to ensure that we can provide these to all children in our care.
