Our Nursery and Registration Fees
We run our nursery year from 1st September to 31st August, and we close for a week at Christmas and all Bank Holidays. Fees are calculated from your booked attendance and based on our fee structure. They are calculated by taking your weekly attendance fee, multiplying it by 52 (weeks per year), then dividing this by 12 to create a monthly payment – payable in advance on the 1st day of each month by direct debit or by voucher.
To book a place we require a £75.00 non-refundable registration fee for a new family (Please note this fee is not applicable for fully funded sessions).
Settling in Sessions
At Bumpkins Day Nursery, we believe that children flourish when their personal, social and emotional needs are met. With this in mind, we offer Settling in Sessions for your child before they start their nursery adventure. It’s extremely important that your child feels safe and secure at our Royston Nursery before they start permanent sessions.
What to expect from Settling in Sessions
You will first meet our team and your child’s Key Person and we will start to build relationships with you and your child. We will start to find out your child’s likes and dislikes, home routine and any specific requirements such as nap times, meal preferences and comforters.
