Cancellation

One full calendar month’s written notice must be made to either terminate or alter a booking at the Nursery. Failure to do so will result in full fees being charged. Where a booking is altered a revised standing order must be submitted at the time of notification.

Introductory Visits

Introductory visits are free and are arranged prior to your child’s start date.

Non Standard Students

The nursery recognises that students who are studying non-standard programmes, which may consist of either intensive periodic blocks where attendance on campus is required or a programme which is taught on a one day per week basis, may have differing needs from students studying standard undergraduate or postgraduate programmes. We would be pleased to discuss individual requirements with students studying these programmes to try to endeavour that our service remains accessible. Please contact the Nursery Business Manager for further information.
