FEES
When you sign your child up to start at First Steps Nursery we take a deposit to hold their place. The deposit is two times your weekly price. We retain your deposit while your child is in nursery and is taken off your final fees when you give 4 full weeks’ notice to leave the nursery. Nursery
fees must be paid in advance in your child’s first day in nursery each week. Fees can be paid by standing order, tax free childcare scheme or child scheme vouchers.
