Please note:-

Due to the high demand for full day places, on a Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, children attending one day a week at the Creche, Nursery, Meithrin and Out of School Academy, are offered a Monday or Friday ONLY.

We have limited number of half day sessions at Creche and Nursery, on a Monday or a Friday. A minimum of 2 half day sessions is required.

Fees are reviewed annually in April but can be increased at any time. We aim to give one-month written notice of any increase to fees.

How Fees are calculated for Creche and Nursery

Fees are payable one month in advance by the 1st of every month and must be cleared by the 4th of every month and calculated using the following formula:-

- The number of sessions/days attending in a week x the daily rate x 52 (the number of weeks in the year) ÷ by 12 (number of months in the year).

NB When your child becomes eligible for the Flying Start funding for 2-year-olds or the Childcare Offer, (aged 3 plus) fees are then payable every 4/5 weeks, in line with the claim procedures set out by the Welsh Government Flying Start Program and Childcare Offer.

Fees may be paid using Childcare Vouchers, the Government’s Tax-Free Childcare Voucher Scheme, BACS Payment and/or Cash. Cheques are not acceptable at any time.

How fees are calculated for Meithrinfa (Welsh Nursery)

Fees are calculated by the number of sessions in a week x the daily rate x 39 term time weeks divided by 10 months. Fees are therefore payable monthly for this period.

How Fees are calculated for Out of School Academy

For Before and After School Academy fees are calculated from September to the following July (school academic year 39 weeks) by taking the number of sessions/days attending in the week X the daily rate X 39 (number of term time weeks) divided by 12 (number of months).

We are closed bank holidays, but fees are still payable for these days during term time.

Inset Days during term time

Parents MUST inform the Out of School Academy in advance, if they wish to attend on Inset days. Parents will be required to pay the difference in the amount already paid for the After School and the cost of a full day extra session. You will be sent a separate invoice for Inset Days attended in each fee month

For Holiday Academy fees are calculated by taking the number of days attending in the holiday period i.e. – 1 week, 2 weeks or 6 weeks X the daily rate. Bank holidays are not included as the Holiday Academy is closed on these days.

Fees for the holiday Academy MUST be paid in full at least one month prior to the start date, to secure your child’s place.

Parents may book for the Holiday Academy for the whole year, to guarantee the days they require for their child/children. Fees are payable one month before the Holiday Academy commences. except for the Summer Holidays when the full amount can be split into 2 payments, with the first being one month before the Summer school holidays commence.

Any additional days needed beyond what has been booked in advance, can be booked as extra sessions and MUST be paid for at the time of booking.

Payment of Fees

Fees can be paid by BACS Transfer/and /or Voucher/HMRC Tax Free Childcare or Cash. NB: – We do not accept cheque payments.

First fees are payable one month before your child is due to commence. An invoice will be issued explaining the amount due.

No reimbursement of fees will be made if your child does not attend, for any reason.

Please note once you have booked your child’s day/s at Toadhall Montessori, it is not possible to ‘swap’ those days for other sessions. You may however book additional days as extra sessions, depending upon availability.

Booking Extra Sessions at Creche, Nursery, Meithrinfa or Out of School Academy

Extra Sessions may be booked, depending upon availability, and must be paid for at the time of booking by BACS Transfer and /or Voucher/HMRC Tax Free Childcare or Cash. NB: – We do not accept cheque payments. An Extra Sessions Agreement Form must be completed by parents.

Fees for Extra Sessions are greater than the normal daily rates, as we need to ensure we have adequate staff to maintain staffing ratios and additional paperwork must be completed, both of which incur additional administration time.

Once you have booked your child’s extra sessions, no reimbursement of fees will be made if your child does not attend, or you need to cancel for any reason.

The Extra Session rates are stated in the table above for each setting
