Affordable childcare for working parents
'Fees are highly competitive, offering working parents affordable but excellent learning and childcare'.
Parent governors
Fielding Nursery is a competitively priced fee paying nursery with access to all eligible Government funding to offset some of your nursery fees. Please note that there will be a minimal fee increase at the beginning of each academic year.
Nursery Term Time fees September 2023 - August 2024
Fielding Nursery will have no fee increase for 2023-2024, detailed below.
Any fee increases will continue to remain highly competitive with similar provision across the Borough but with the benefit of offering Teacher led education plus early and evening childcare managed by highly qualified staff to complement the school day in an Ofsted Outstanding provision.

Payments for morning and afternoon sessions
Fees are payable monthly in advance (from August to June) and due within 14 days of invoices being issued. If fees are not paid on time and remain unpaid your child's place will be put at risk. Government funding to cover some of the costs of these sessions is available including:
- 15 'Universal' government funded hours.
- 15 'Additional' government funded hours (30 hour eligibility)
- Childcare Vouchers
- Tax-Free Childcare
Important
There is specific eligibility criteria for all the above except for the 15 'Universal' government funded hours which is available to all children in the term following their 3rd birthday. The current rate is £4.99 per hour and it will be deducted from fees. Please note that all children attending nursery for 15 hours a week will still be required to pay a small monthly fee.

There are some examples at the bottom of the page give you an indication of what you might expect to pay in different circumstances. The examples below are for illustration only. The actual amounts may vary slightly according to number of days in the month and weeks in the term. Fuller details of government funding and other help with child care costs can be found on Government Funding and help with childcare costs page
Payments for early sessions
Early morning sessions will be added to the monthly invoice where this is a permanent arrangement. Early morning care is not covered by the 15/30 hours government funding as we do not offer the option to “stretch” the funding, you can use Child Care Vouchers and Tax-Free Childcare payments to help cover the cost.
Payments for emergency ad-hoc term time sessions
Emergency ad-hoc sessions (early, morning and/or afternoon) can be booked in term time for events such as unexpected work commitments, jury service, medical appointments, family crisis etc. These are subject to an increased fee as detailed above to cover administration and are bookable through your Ziggi Systems account. Ad-hoc term time sessions are not covered by the 15/30 hours government funding but you can use Child Care Vouchers and Tax-Free Childcare payments to help cover the cost.
Payments for late collection
Late collection will incur an additional fee as detailed above first 15 minutes, then an additional £5 per each five minutes thereafter. These costs will be added to your nursery cashbook on Ziggi Systems.
Payments for Holiday Club
Please see Holiday Club page for full details of Holiday Club fees and payments. As with early and ad-hoc term time sessions, Holiday Club is not covered by the 15 and 30 hours government funding as we do not offer the option to “stretch” the funding but you can use Child Care Vouchers and Tax-Free Childcare payments to help cover it.
How much will I have to pay?
The examples below are for illustration only.
The actual amounts may vary slightly according to number of days in the month and weeks in the term. Additionally If you request extra permanent session/s, these are added to your schedule as soon as requested, this will cause Ziggi Systems to recalculate and spread the cost across the remaining months of the year changing your monthly fees.
Example 1:
Child attends nursery for 3 mornings per week and is eligible for; 15 “Universal” government funded hours.
Total cost of nursery place (term time) | |
3 sessions (15 hours) x £30.00 per session x 38 weeks | = £3,420.00 per year |
Government funding (term time) | |
£4.99 per hour x 15 universal hours = £74.85 x 38 weeks | = £2,844.30 per year |
