Charging Policy 

 

Educational Visits 

During the school year children in the Nursery will have the opportunity to access educational visits. For some trips a voluntary contribution is requested from Parents/Carers to support the coach hire and entrance fee.

No child will be treated differently according to whether or not their parents have made any contribution in response to the request

The information regarding the voluntary contributions is given on induction to the nursery in the “All About Me” booklet and other reminders will be sent throughout the year. If the activity cannot be funded without voluntary contribution, the Governing Body or Head teacher will make this clear to parents at the outset. We aim to help parents understand that we cannot subsidise the cost of school outings and special events, such as visits to the zoo or theatre groups. If we do not receive enough voluntary contributions towards the cost we will have to terminate the outing or event.

Voluntary Snack Contribution 

Parents/Carers are asked to make a weekly contribution of £1 to support the following: Cost of snacks, ingredients for baking and play dough activities.

Payments can be made weekly monthly half termly or termly

The School Minibus will transport children to venues such as Museum local landmarks, local parks, Garden Centres and other places of interest. These trips are generally provided free of charge.
