Minimum Booking Policy
The minimum number of sessions your child can be booked into our Ascot nursery and pre-school is two sessions per week (one session equals either an AM or PM session).
Please note the minimum booking policy is not applicable to grant funded sessions.
Settling in Sessions
At Nature’s 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 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 your fees based on booked attendance, and the nursery’s fee structure (which is reviewed annually in January). Fees payable are calculated monthly depending on how many sessions your child will attend in that month, which is payable monthly in advance, on the first day of each month by Standing Order and/or childcare 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) and a £200 refundable deposit.
Our Siblings Discount
If you already have more than one child at our nursery, then we offer a 10% discount off your oldest child’s nursery fees when their younger sibling starts. Please ask at the nursery for more information about this.
