Dear Parent/Carer
As you are aware there has been a steep rise in inflation and energy bills. As a company Castle Hill Village Nursery has not been immune to the effects of this and also the large annual increase to the National Minimum Wage and other associated employer costs.
In order to keep the nursery open we have had to increase our fees to keep pace with these spiralling costs. Please find attached to this letter the revised fees that will come into effect on 1 April 2023. The increase will cover, in part, some of the increased costs the Nursery has but I will also use some of the company reserves to support the substantial rise in these and other areas.
As in previous years our fees remain comparable, and cheaper in some instances, than those currently charged at other local nurseries and reflect value for money, for our ‘GOOD’ nursery setting. Any monies received safeguard the viability of the Nursery and the costs involved in running it. Castle Hill Village Nursery is a ‘not for profit’ Community Interest Company that supports projects at both Castle Hill School and The Village Children’s Centre as part of its ethos.
Please find below some other information relating to Castle Hill Village Nursery:
- If you wish to change your child’s sessions or if your child moves rooms it may not be possible for the amendment to be shown on your current invoice. An amendment will be made to your account to reflect the change and confirmation will be sent to this effect
- If your child is accessing early years education entitlement you will soon receive a new Parental Declaration Form that will need to be signed
- The term after your child becomes 3, they will access the maintained Nursery:- April, September or January, if there is space available. Early Years entitlement of up to 15 hours (universal) and 30 hours (15 universal and 15 extended), dependent on sessions attended, will be given and the invoice will reflect the cost of this
- Fees are still payable should your child be absent through illness
- If you experience difficulty paying fees please ensure you advise the Nursery supervisor as soon as possible to avoid further action being taken
I would like to thank you for your continued support of Castle Hill Village Nursery and if you have any questions regarding any aspect of the Nursery, please do not hesitate to contact the Nursery Manager in the first instance.
Yours faithfully
Pete Talbot
Headteacher
