Fees are issued at the start of each term and we rely on parents to pay their fees promptly to keep the nursery in good financial order. Parents have the option of paying their fees at the start of the term, or in monthly instalments on the first of each month. As the nursery is a self-funding charity, it is vital to the running of the nursery that parents pay fees on a timely basis.

​

All children who attend our setting are currently entitled to 15 hours of Universal Early Years Entitlement from the term after their third birthday. In addition, we are able to offer the Working Parent Entitlement for two and three year olds, subject to parental eligibility.

​​

Childcare Choices 

The Childcare Choices website will guide you through your options. It provides access to the application process for the childcare accounts and the 30 hour entitlement - make sure you are ticking the correct boxes for you. Eligibility for all this and the 30 hours is determined by HMRC and parents should check their own eligibility through the relevant government website. The website Childcare Choices offers you the opportunity to compare what is best for your family. 

 

'Tax Free' Childcare Accounts 

Working parents of children aged under 12 can use Tax-Free Childcare, through the childcare service account, to pay for registered childcare. The Government top-up the money that parents pay into the account i.e. for every £8 parents pay in, the Government will add an additional £2. Parents can received £2,000 per child per year, or £4,000 if disabled.

 

Visit www.gov.uk/tax-free-childcare to find out more about eligibility and the scheme. We advise parents to ensure they have read all the advice in relation to what is best for them and whether they should move from an existing scheme. Blackheath Montessori Centre will not be held responsible in any way if your choice results in changes to your eligibility for other benefits or childcare costs support.
