Financial Information

Nursery Full-time places incur a charge for time beyond the 15 hours free entitlement. The charge is updated annually by the Governing body and matches the Manchester City Council offer. For 30 hours funded places, parents must provide a valid HMRC code. Payments for nursery are invoiced half-termly in advance; if payment is not received within 10 working days of the due date, the full-time nursery place may be withdrawn. If a parent falls out of the 30 hours funding, there is a grace period until the end of the term before the extra hours are self-funded.
