Nursery Information
Parents may access only their free funded hours, however, many parents find that they need more sessions than the funded hours provide. We allow funded hours to be taken in any session to support parents, however, in the best interests of the children and for operational consistency we only provide full sessions and cannot support children attending part sessions. Parents accessing only their funded hours will not be asked to pay a registration fee for their place but the usual nursery deposit will be payable. Parents accessing a funded only place may choose to pay the consumables charge voluntarily or alternatively will need to provide essential extras and consumables not covered by the funding such as all food and drink, sun cream, bedding (where applicable) and more. We encourage parents to pay the consumables charge to support the nursery; where parents choose to provide food we will share our allergen management and healthy eating policy and this must be adhered to. If you are looking for a funded only place please contact let us know this as registration. Where children attend additional paid hours, these are provided as a separate private contract for services and any consumables charges then form part of this contract.
As the Government funding does not include any essential extras, like those detailed below, a simple consumables charge will be added to your child’s invoice for the funded hours used within each of the sessions they attend. This consumables charge covers things such as:
- All meals, drinks and snacks
- Toiletries and potty training support
- Our enhanced and unique programme of activities
- Specialist support and enhanced transition for children moving into schools. Our qualified nursery staff will help prepare your child so that when the time comes, they confidently move from our nursery to school. The consumables charges are voluntary for all pupils accessing funded only hours and parents may choose to provide meals, drinks and extras instead. For children attending hours outside of and additional to funded provision, parents enter into a separate contract for services with the nursery to provide childcare and in such cases consumables charges form part of this contract.
Our nursery follows the National Curriculum for the Early Years Foundation Stage however children benefit from a variety of opportunities beyond this framework. Our setting offers exceptional pastoral care, given by skilled and knowledgeable staff. As part of the Forfar Education family all our staff benefit from extensive training and development, and the nursery has strong governance to ensure the highest safety standards and best practice are being delivered on a daily basis.
