Payment Methods

As of September 2025 our fees are payable 4 weekly in advance. Our preferred method of payment is by bank transfer. We also accept cheques, cash and Tax-Free Childcare.

Fees must still be paid if children are absent. If your child should be absent over a long period of time, please speak to our manager. 

Please note: late payments will incur a fee of £20.00

For your child to keep her/his place at Gooseberry Green, you must pay the fees. We are in receipt of nursery education funding for two, three and four year old children; where funding is not received, then fees apply.

Fees are reviewed annually.

We are in receipt of Nursery Education Funding for two, three and four year old children. Where funding is not received then fees apply.

Funded hours can be accessed for our morning and afternoon sessions. All other times will be charged at the current rates.

Please be aware that if any extra sessions are taken after the official headcount date each term, full fees will have to be paid until the following term when you can claim them. You will be notified of the headcount dates.

Please note: terms which exceed the allocated funding weeks will require full payment.
