Fees
- Fees are calculated by multiplying the weekly rate by 51 and dividing by 12.
- Full fees are payable for all days that your child is absent from nursery for whatever reason, including child sickness, holidays, public and bank Holidays, inset days (staff training) and times where closure is totally unavoidable ie extreme weather, heating failure, power cuts. Inset days are very important to ensure staff are up to date with all relevant legislation, policies and procedures. Inset days will be calculated pro rata and added to your monthly fees. Applies to private and funded spaces.
- Fees are payable monthly in advance. Due on the 28th of each month.
- For the first month of attendance, we will require payment in advance before your child’s first day of attendance.
- Little Hubbers accept all employer voucher schemes, however full payment is required by card/cheque until the first voucher payment has been credited to our account.
- Little Hubbers will be offering the 15 hour and 30-hour FUNDED entitlement scheme to all qualifying children. The 15/ 30 hours FUNDED childcare/early education offer is not intended to cover the costs of meals, other consumables (such as cleaning materials, paper towels, pens, paper, resources, nappies or sun cream), additional hours or additional activities (such as trips). Providers are able to charge a sustainability fee for these additions.

*Little Hubbers actively promote healthy eating in the Nursery in line with schools and the Early Years Foundation Stage. We ask that you donate 1 piece of fruit, vegetables, cheese or crackers each day for the children to share at snack time, e.g., apples, Bananas, oranges, plums, grapes, carrots, cucumber, celery, avocado, tomatoes, bread sticks, crackers, rice cakes, cheese biscuits etc. Little Hubbers actively engage your children in the preparing, chopping and serving of snack time fruit. This encourages social interaction and allows children to learn new skills. This applies to all parents/ carer’s including those accessing the 15- & 30-hour funding.
* We offer limited spaces on a school Day session. The reason being is we cannot fill the time before or after with other children.
