Opening Hours
Angles at Play Park Road is open from 8.00am until 6.00pm from Monday to Friday.
Our fees include care during our normal Hours, but ‘early drop’ and ‘late collection’ between 7.30am – 8.00am and 6.00pm – 6.30pm may be pre-booked and paid for at an extra cost.
Full time and part-time places are available, and we’ll do our best to accommodate the sessions that you need (although we advise that you book early as both of our nurseries often have limited availability in popular sessions). Each part-time session runs from 8.00 am until 1.00 pm or 1.00 pm until 6.00 pm and (depending on which sessions are booked) includes breakfast, lunch, high tea, fruit, snacks and drinks throughout the day.
Please note that we close for one week at Christmas, for 2 staff training days per year, and for all Bank Holidays.
Minimum Booking Policy
The minimum number of sessions your child can be booked into our day nursery in Ware is two sessions per week (one session equals either a AM or PM session).
Please note the minimum booking policy is not applicable to grant funded sessions.
If you require three full days or more, then one of those days needs to be either a Monday or Friday.
Settling in Sessions
At Angel’s At Play Park Road 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 in their nursery environment before they start permanent sessions.
What to expect from Settling in Sessions
- We will start to build relationships with you and your child
- You will meet our team and your child’s Key Person
- 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
The main aim of these sessions is to ensure that you and your child feel completely happy before you start permanent sessions with us.
Our Nursery and Registration Fees
We calculate our fees based on the nurseries fee structure which is reviewed every January (we give parents at least a month’s notice of any changes) and calculate your fees by taking your child’s weekly attendance fee (from pre-booked sessions) and multiplying it by 52 (which is the number of weeks charged for per year). This is divided by 12 in order to create a monthly payment due …… and this is payable monthly in advance, on (or before) the first day of every month by Standing Order, by cheque or by Childcare Voucher.
Included within our fee structure are SMA (1&2) and Aptimil (1&2) formula milk (under 1 Yrs old) and nappies for our babies (under 2yrs). In addition, for all our children we provide Calpol, sun cream, nappy wipes, bedding and our own unique and innovative child development programmes.
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).
Our Sibling Discount
If you have more than one child at either of our nurseries in Ware or if you’re registering more than one child at either, we offer a 10% discount on the fees of your oldest child.
Please ask the nursery for more information on any of the above.
