​Fee paying policy
 
Registration
A registration fee is charged at £50 by the parent/guardian to Puddleduck Preschool Limited on submission of the completed registration form and the fee shall not be refundable if application is withdrawn by the parent/guardian.  The registration fee will be returned if Puddleduck Preschool cannot offer the place on the schedule and date required.
Once registration has been completed you will receive an invoice for the term.  Payment for your fees can be paid monthly or termly.  If you pay monthly this should be paid by the ‘due dates’ stated on your invoice or in advance by direct debit, other payments can be used but need to be discussed prior to ‘due date’ with Laura Woodcock or Kristin Wright.
In the event of the preschool having to close due to unforeseen circumstances (for example polling day, snow day etc) you will still be charged for these sessions.
 
Late charge
Failure to pay invoices on time will incur a charge. A 10% increment will be added to the invoice for every week the payment is late.
If payment is outstanding for more than 14 days Puddleduck Preschool may serve a 14 days’ notice in writing to terminate this contract.  Upon termination of this contract the child shall cease forthwith to be admitted to Puddleduck Preschool, and the Preschool’s notice to a termination shall be regarded as a formal demand for all outstanding monies.
 
Fee increase
Puddleduck preschool fees are reviewed annually and will give a 1 month written notice prior to any change.
 
 
Terminating contract
After acceptance of the offer by the parent/guardian either party may terminate this agreement by giving 1 month’s written notice.  During that said 1 month period Puddleduck Preschool will continue to admit the child and the parent/guardian undertakes to pay all fees due.  In the event of the parent/guardian failing to pay the month’s fees the child’s place shall be immediately withdrawn and the preschool shall be entitled to serve a formal demand for payment of such monies.
In the event of the parent/guardian giving notice of withdrawn a child and immediately withdrawing a payment of 1 month’s fee in lieu of notice.
