This page includes information about our fee schedules, the Childcare Voucher scheme and Early Years Education (EYE) funding. Babraham Nursery accepts both Early Years Education funding and Childcare Vouchers. EYE funding is payable to each child from the first school term following their third birthday.
Nursery fees are payable one month in arrears, upon invoice. (Invoices are issued by the Babraham Institute). There is a £50 registration fee per child (not payable if you are in receipt of Early Years Education funding), and a deposit of the equivalent of four weeks’ fees is payable (for non Babraham Institute families) on being offered a place. The registration fee covers settling-in visits (up to four hours in total) and administrative costs.
The full rate is charged for weeks containing a Bank holiday and if you remove your child for holidays or they are ill. Fees are not charged for the period from 25 December to 31 December inclusive.

Childcare Vouchers can help you save money with your childcare costs through your employer. The first £55 per week (£243 per month*) is completely free of tax and National Insurance contributions. Both parents can benefit, making a potential family saving of up to £2,390 a year*.
The process of receiving and paying with Childcare Vouchers is designed to be simple and straightforward for both employers and employees.
Most employers who provide Childcare Vouchers do so through a salary sacrifice scheme. This means that you agree to reduce your salary by a certain value and receive Childcare Vouchers to the same value, but pay no tax or National Insurance on these.
To join your employer's Childcare Vouchers scheme you must first complete a salary sacrifice agreement. Your employer will give you instructions on how to do this. After your agreement has been submitted to your employer, they will reduce your salary by the requested amount and arrange for vouchers to be provided to you.
Babraham Nursery accepts both paper and virtual vouchers. Paper vouchers are used in the same way as cash or a cheque.
