Parent AreaFees

Nursery fees are managed from the online childcare app, through automatic monthly invoices by all nursery managers.

How fees are calculated

Fees are calculated for the current month and the total amount of days of attendance within that period. We are registered with Tax-Free Childcare and most childcare vouchers. You will receive your monthly invoice via email and in-app notification from the childcare app, your new invoice alert will provide you with a link to make payment.

We are open for 52 weeks of the year, and all nursery sites are closed on bank holidays. To secure your place, a one-off registration fee is to be paid before your gradual admission process can commence.

Any nursery deposits paid prior to January 2026 are automatically deducted from your final invoice once the nursery receives your 4 weeks’ written notice.

Our Fee's Explained

Securing a Place

To secure your nursery place with Tiddlywinks Nursery Group, a one-off registration fee is to be paid before your gradual admission process and initial visits can commence.

Please note; this is a non-refundable one-off registration fee to confirm your place and is not deductible from your final invoice.

Funded Places

We do provide a number of places for children to attend for the funded hours only, where no additional payment is required. These are generally available during our quieter days of attendance, for availability please discuss directly with the managers of your nursery.

We have discussed our funded places and providing funding
entitlement hours with the children’s local authorities. They are aware of the funding delivery model and hours available and are in agreement with how we provide these places. If you do have any questions, please discuss with one of your members of management at your nursery.

With government funding hours, we offer “stretched” places to spread weekly entitlement hours and distribute costs over the full year.

No Deposit or Additional Fees

We do not have any hidden charges, nor do we charge any administrative or additional deposit fees when you register. If you have siblings at Tiddlywinks Nursery, family discounts are available on your childcare fees (subject to terms & conditions).

If you receive any support with childcare costs, such as Tax Free Childcare or Vouchers, Student funding or Government funding please make your Nursery Manager aware. You can also read the below guidance articles for further information regarding any additional help with childcare costs.

What do Parents and Visitors say about Tiddlywinks Nurseries?

Phoebe D

Amazing staff and facilities. During a hectic time in our home lives my child has been supported and cared for in nursery and absolutely loves attending. Honestly couldn't ask for a better safe place and learning environment for any child or parents for that matter.

Imram K

I really like the nursery and am happy my son is coming to this nursery. They supported me when I needed it the most when my wife passed away and I appreciate it.

Sian A

We’d like to say a really special thank you to everybody who has cared for Martha (and Tom) over the last five years. From day one we never doubted that Tom and Martha were safe, happy, cared for and stimulated. We will miss you all but it’s nice to know that Martha can’t wait to go to school, many thanks and best wishes
