Sessions
Hopscotch requires that children attend a minimum of two morning/afternoon sessions or two full days per week. School day sessions are only available if you require a minimum of three school day sessions per week.
Free Childcare and Consumables Charges
All children are entitled to 15 hours free childcare per week from the term after their third birthday and some are eligible for a further 15 hours per week. These funded hours attract a consumables charge which covers all meals, snacks, consumables, baking activities, staff training, etc. and are charged at a rate of £2.75 per funded hour. This charge is reviewed in line with the nursery fees. Please note these funded hours can only be applied to hours attended within our normal opening hours of 8am to 6pm.
Fees Due
Payment of the fees for the child(ren)’s attendance at the nursery shall be made in advance by the 3rd day of each calendar month.
Fee Calculation
Monthly fees are calculated based on the actual sessions a child attends for each day of the month. Accordingly, monthly invoices may differ from month to month depending on how many attendance days there are in any given month.
Late Fees
Late fees will be charged at a rate of £5 per day for all fees which remain outstanding after the 3rd day of each month until the outstanding fees have been paid in full.
Voucher Payments / Tax Free Childcare
Hopscotch accepts payments from all major voucher companies along with the government backed scheme Tax Free Childcare. Please speak to your Nursery Manager or email our finance department [email protected] regarding making payment by either method.
Sessions are payable in advance and therefore childcare vouchers/tax free childcare must be received on or before the 20th day of the previous month in which the fees are due i.e. by the 20th March for fees invoiced on the 1st April for sessions to be attended in April. Late vouchers will incur late fee charges as detailed above.
Direct Debits
In an effort to maintain our fees at a competitive rate, payment should be made by Direct Debit.
If a Direct Debit payment is returned unpaid an administration charge of £5 will be applied to the following month’s invoice. In addition, late fees will be applied in accordance with our Terms and Conditions.
Credit & Debit Cards
Payment for additional sessions must be made by credit or debit card at the time of booking. Outstanding fees can also be paid by credit or debit card. Late fees will be applied in accordance with our Terms and Conditions.
Alternative Payment Arrangements
Under certain circumstances arrangements can be made, however, a £5 administration charge may be applied. Any requests for alternative payment arrangements should be made in writing to the Finance Office.
