​Opening Hours

The nursery day runs from 8am – 6pm Monday - Friday. We ask parents to collect children within these hours, there is a charge levied for late pick-ups. All of our nurseries are open 51 weeks of the year, closing for a week during the Christmas period.

​Attendance

Please note that we only offer full days as a permanent booking. Children must attend a minimum of 2 days per week. If only attending 2 days, one day must be either a Monday or Friday. Term time only is not available.

Payment

All fees are due, and payable, one full month in advance. Fees are payable even if your child is not attending nursery due to sickness or holidays.


​What's Included

We provide an all-inclusive service for your child where all meals, nappies, wipes, formula milk and extracurricular classes are included in our fees. For those in receipt of government funding, these are included as part of the Consumables Charge.

Registration

There is a one-off non-refundable application fee for all applications (including to join the waiting list). To secure your space, if and when one becomes available, we require a refundable deposit.

Discount

​We offer a 5% sibling discount whilst no siblings are in receipt of government funding. The discount will be applied to the sibling with the lowest fees.

Funding

At Ladybird, we believe high quality childcare should be available to everyone, which is why we offer a number of funding options for our parents and carers. We offer all streams of government funding for children aged 9 months to 4 years. See our FAQs below for more information.
