Nursery Care Package
In addition to standard nursery fees, we apply a Nursery Care Package fee for funded sessions. This fixed contribution is added to your averaged monthly balance, so you pay the same amount each month.
The Care Package helps us provide a richer experience for your child by covering:
- Everyday essentials (nappies, wipes, sacks & creams)
- Freshly prepared meals
- Stay & Play sessions
- Special activities and visits from external providers
- Celebrations and events (such as graduation ceremonies)
This ensures we can continue offering high-quality care, exciting activities, and those little extras that make nursery life special.
