A few things to note about our pricing and fees

We offer discounts for siblings, and there are some extra charges for late pick-ups. We also accommodate bookings outside your child's regularly scheduled days. Please see below.

Secure your child’s place on our waiting list

  • At Saplings, we ask for a £50 deposit to secure your child’s place at Saplings.
  • This is a refundable registration fee; this deposit will be deducted from your child's final month's invoice when they leave Saplings Preschool& Nursery, provided all outstanding fees have been settled. Only deposits paid on 1st May 2026 or after this date will be eligible for a refund.
  • Spaces will not be held unless the deposit fee is paid in full. This deposit shows your intention to take up a childcare place for your child.
  • Please use the following details to pay your deposit

Sibling discount

A 5% discount is given for the oldest sibling attending the Pre-School. Both of the siblings need to pay to get the discount. If they funded, the sibling discount doesn't apply.

Late pickup charge

A late pick-up fee is charged at £10 for every 10 minutes. This will be added to your childcare invoice in the following month.

Payment Due date

Payments are due 30 days after receiving the invoice. The late payment penalty charge will be 5% of the unpaid amount.

Additional days and Holiday Club

Additional sessions or days may be booked, subject to availability, alongside your child’s contracted schedule. Please note that swapping contracted days is not permitted. Invoices for any additional sessions or days will be issued within the same month.

If you need to cancel an additional booking, a minimum of 72 hours’ notice is required; otherwise, the full fee will be charged.

Holiday Club for Saplings children will run during the last two weeks of August.

School Closure

As extreme weather conditions are out of our control and are uninsurable, we regret that Saplings are unable to refund fees or offer alternative childcare days.
