REGISTRATION FORM (confidential)
Payment Terms
Children from 3 months to 5 years will be accepted on a first come first served basis but priority will be given to siblings. The registration form must be completed indicating the days required and registration fee of £50 (non-refundable) per child paid. The nursery manager will then call you to confirm if a place is available. If you choose to accept the place please do so in writing enclosing the final month’s fees per child. Places will be guaranteed on receipt of this registration form and final month’s fees. The final month’s fees will be used to pay for the last month your child attends Nursery, providing there are no outstanding fees owed. Should you choose not to take the place once accepted the final month’s fees will not be refunded. Payments should be paid on the third working day of each month. The first month’s fees must be paid prior to starting. Annual payments by cheque or credit card may also be made in advance. The annual option is non refundable should you wish to cancel your place during the yearly period. If you wish to change the times or you change your mind once you have written and accepted a place please note°
Making Changes to Nursery Days
Please notify the Nursery Manger in writing giving two months notice if you wish to change the number of days you require. As days are initially confirmed at the offer stage which is based on availability at the time a request to change or reduce the days after your child has started the nursery has to be considered as a new request which can only be confirmed against the availability at the time of the new request.

- The final month’s fees are required to confirm your child's place at the nursery. If you delay the start date once you have accepted a place then unless we can fill the place the final months fees will be deducted . We reserve the right to charge from the original start date if the correct notice is not given.
- If you choose not to take a place the final month’s fees will not be refunded but the registration form can be returned to the waiting list until a place becomes available.
- Days are confirmed based on availability at the time they are offered. Any changes in days or reduction of hours will be considered as a new request which can only be re confirmed against available days.
- If a child starts and then leaves the nursery within four months the final months fees will not be refunded. If payments are late than a 5% charge per week will be added to the monthly fee. Failure to pay fees regularly will be regarded as a serious breach of the terms and conditions and may result in the termination of the child’s place.

Illness and Holidays
Should your child be taken ill or go on holiday we do not offer a refund. If the Nursery has to close due to ‘an act of God’ or conditions beyond our control we do not offer a refund. Little Crickets do not accept any liability for any pecuniary or other loss suffered by you arising directly or indirectly as a result of the nursery being closed or the non admittance of a child for any reason.
Pricing and Reviews
The fee prices are changed from the first day of the month after the child’s second birthday and again when the child reaches three years. Nursery prices are reviewed regularly. Parents/carers will be given one months notice of any changes to the fees.
Notice Of Termination
Two months written notice is required to cancel a place at the nursery. We reserve the right to terminate your child’s place if a serious breach of the terms and conditions occurs. A child’s place can also be terminated if it is considered to be in the best interests of the nursery or the welfare of other children. Examples are: use of foul language, abuse of staff, failure to pay fees regularly, continuous late pick ups.

Children may not be left in the nursery after 6.30pm and an additional fee of £50 will be incurred on top of the half hourly rate. If a child is still in the nursery after 6.00pm and no contact has been made with the parent /carer the emergency contact will be called.
