Terms and Conditions

These terms and conditions have been set for the safety and well being of the children in our care and to assist with the smooth running of the Nursery.  Parents are required to note and abide by the following conditions:

  1. Fees are payable half termly in advance i.e. during the first week of each half term. Fees must still be paid during absence, for any reason and missed sessions cannot be taken at other time. An invoice for your child's fees will be issued to you at the start of each term. Fees at present are £11 per session until the term after your child turns 3. After this your child is entitled to up to 15 hours free under the government pathfinder grant scheme.
  2. A non refundable deposit of £20 is required to secure a place for your child. Please return this with the enrolment forms asap.
  3. Cheques for fees should be made payable to Great Amwell Nursery School and handed to Bev Howlett or Louise Raja. Any cash must be in a clearly marked envelope stating the child's name.
  4. Once a place has been accepted we require six weeks of term time written notice and fees equivalent to the notice period to cancel your child's place.
  5. Once sessions have been allocated to your child they cannot be altered week by week. Sessions may be changed at the start of term and/or half term week only. Forms to request a change or increase in sessions are available at the nursery.
  6. When collecting your child please be on time so they feel secure at all times. No child will be allowed to leave the nursery with a person other than the parent/carer named on the enrolment forms unless we have been previously informed.
  7. Please drop off your child and leave promptly once their session is over. This is to alleviate congestion and ultimately for your child's safety. Please park in the parish hall car park rather than the school playground next door if you can. Please avoid parking in Hillside Lane as this is a privately owned road and residents will complain,
  8. Milk or water is provided for the children and a healthy, light snack i.e. fruit, dips or toast. Packed lunches must be clearly named on the outside and as we promote healthy eating must not include sweets or chocolate. To help with snack parents are asked to bring one piece of fruit in per week per child.
  9. All items of clothing and personal belongings must be labeled. Please use sew on tapes or permanent marker pens for clothing as iron on labels and sticky labels come off. Please label toys with sticky label.
  10. A child who has an infectious illness or sickness should not attend nursery and parents should inform us at once. If your child has any health or toilet problems please let us know. Should a child fall ill whilst at nursery you will be contacted and asked to collect them asap.
  11. If your child has a tummy bug (sickness or diarrhoea) they should be kept off for 48 hours after the last incidence to avoid spreading the infection.
  12. Parents must notify us at once of any change in address or contact details or any other significant changes to information given on the enrollment form. This is so that we can contact you in an emergency.
  13. If you are dissatisfied/have concerns with any aspect regarding the running of the nursery school please speak to Louise Raja Nursery Manager/Owner or Mrs Howlett her deputy. 
  14. We have a positive behaviour management policy at nursery. (Please see website for details).  No physical punishment is used.
  15. Many factors can affect your child and their development. Should situations such as the birth of a sibling, change in sleeping habits or even loss of a pet occur, please inform your child's keyworker so that can offer special care and attention to allow for this.
  16. In the event of extreme weather we regret that fees cannot be refunded. This is because overheads still have to be paid even if we are closed.
