    REGISTRATION

    Upon receipt of a fully completed registration form together with a £45 non-refundable registration fee, Comfort Angelz will endeavour to offer a place for the days and sessions requested on the registration form. In the event that the days or sessions requested cannot be guaranteed at the preferred start date, Comfort Angelz will place the child on the waiting list and alternative sessions will be offered where possible. Comfort Angelz reserves the right not to register a child who, at the absolute discretion of the management team, is considered unsuitable for admission.

     

    DEPOSIT

    Our deposit is £200/£100, which is required with your child’s first month’s fees 28 days before their start date

    25% of your child’s deposit will be refundable.

     

    FEES

    We require fees to be paid a month in advance.

    Fees are payable monthly in advance on the 20th of each month. These funds must be cleared in our bank account by this date. No credit card or debit card payments will be accepted after this date.

    If payment of fees becomes overdue Comfort Angelz shall be entitled to recover the consequent administrative and legal costs.

    Payments made after the 20th of the month, without prior agreement, will be subject to a fixed late payment fine of £20 and £5 per day thereafter until the outstanding balance is settled in full.

    Comfort Angelz reserves the right to refuse admission to the child if fees are overdue by more than 30 days.

     

    Fees are reviewed annually and any changes to the fees will be published at least one month in advance.

     

    Fees for additional days or sessions, subject to availability, will be invoiced and payment must be made before the start of the session.

     

    Sessional fees are a minimum of 3 sessions and where applicable are calculated by the number of sessions pre-booked per month in advance.

     

    When your child moves into a different charge band on the event of their birthday, your new fee will be calculated from the following month.

     

    No reduction of fees will be given if any child is absent due to illness or holidays taken while Comfort Angelz is open. All bank holidays during the year are fully chargeable by the nursery. We also do not permit parents to swap days or sessions.

    If applicable, a sibling discount of 10% will be applied to the eldest child’s fees (this does not apply to extra sessions)
