We are unable to give refunds for nursery missed because of illness or holidays, as staffing levels are planned for the year. Where possible, we may be able to offer a ‘swapped session’ but this is only when we are still able to maintain our ratios.
Billing is done at the start of the term for the whole term, but there is the option to pay in instalments. Please discuss this with Miss Kate.
