Discovery can be accessed for 49 weeks of the year in our Eastcote setting. The nursery will be closed when group outings take place, 3 yearly staff training days, public holidays and a week closure for Christmas. NO refund will be made on such days.

CONDITIONS OF ADMISSION
1. All fees are due Monthly in advance by direct transfer and must be paid on the first day of the month in advance. A pupil may be withdrawn whose fees are not paid promptly. Fees conditions apply.

2. 15 HOURS FREE ENTITLEMENT – The government funding is given to your child, via the setting, the term AFTER your child’s third birthday. Parents of children already attending Discovery (before the child is eligible to the free entitlement) will pay for the extra time (over and above the 15 hours).

3. A full month’s notice in writing is required in advance before the removal of a child. Failing this, a month’s fees will be charged (as paid by the parents at the time). A ‘Months Notice’ means that written notice must be delivered to ‘The Manager’ by emailing admin@discoverynursery.org. No other form of notice will be accepted. Notice given during the public holidays will NOT be accepted.

4. No reduction is made for temporary absence, illness or for when the nursery is closed due to holidays or for group outings i.e. should your child not take part in the outing no refund will be given.

5. Entry is solely at Discovery’s discretion. Discovery reserves the right to request the removal of a pupil if parents fail to follow the nursery’s code of conduct – treat all those involved with the setting with respect and equality. In such a case no refund will be made.

6. The children must be collected promptly. Fees will be incurred for children collected after 6.00pm at a rate of £1 per minute.

7. Discovery reserves the right to change staff, classrooms, the location, the timetable, courses, dates or hours of opening if it deems it necessary without a month’s notice. However, whenever possible parents will be consulted.

8. When rises in costs make an increase in fees essential it may be necessary to give less than a month’s notice of this. This will not be applicable if you child is attending free entitlement sessions only. Fee levels are reviewed at least once a year.

9. If the nursery has to close due to a group outing or emergency, e.g. weather conditions or unforeseen circumstances, no part of the fee will be repayable.

10. 2.5% compound interest per month or part of a month, is payable on all overdue fees. All costs incurred in the collection of unpaid fees (excluding the free entitlement) including our administrative costs and any costs of solicitors acting on our behalf shall be recoverable in full.

11. Bank charges on returned cheques are levied in full.

12. A deposit of £500 is payable within 5 days of the letter of offer. The deposit is deducted from the final month’s fees providing that a full month’s notice has been given prior to the child leaving and that no additional payments or fees are outstanding. If the child does not attend the nursery once the place has been accepted, then the deposit is not refundable, therefore, think carefully before a place is accepted.
