Affordability

All Inclusive Service

At Candy Stripes we offer an all inclusive service for all age groups which means that there are no additional costs involved. Our fees cover all meals, drinks, nappies, and creams. Our pricing structure is defined offering part time, full time and hourly sessions. We offer a 10% discount for having two children attending the nursery. Where both children attend the same amount of sessions per week the discount is deducted from the second child’s Invoice, but where this is not the case, the discount will be deducted from the lowest valued Invoice.

Deposit Fee

To book a place, a set deposit fee of £150 is required prior to the child starting.  Normally only one deposit per family is required, with the deposit going to the subsequent child with the rules of forfeiture still applying.  The deposit is fully refundable once 28 days notice has been given and the final invoice has been paid.

Payment of Fees

Invoices are issued on the first working day of the month and are payable in advance for the month ahead.  Fees must be paid in full within seven (7) working days, unless you have been authorised a special payment scheme.  We do operate various special payment schemes.  These are subject to agreement and are still subject to payment in advance.  All sessions must be paid for even when a child does not attend, you will be liable for fees on all days that are booked and not just days attended, this includes sickness and holidays. Any additional sessions will be shown on the following month’s invoice.  Full terms & conditions can be found on the contract.

Child Care Vouchers

We accept certain Child care vouchers from employers who offer this benefit to their eligible employees as a paper or e-voucher. Vouchers are non-taxable and exempt from NI contributions for employees, whilst offering NI savings for employers. Both parents are eligible to claim as long as they are both in employment.
