Opening Hours
We are open from 8.00am-5.00pm Monday to Friday. We are able to offer flexible full time and part-time sessions to suit your needs.
We offer an early morning drop-off session from 7.30am – 8.00am and a late collection from 5.00pm – 6.00pm, for parents who need that extra flexibility.
We are closed on bank holidays and for a week at Christmas.
Nursery and Registration Fees
Fees are due monthly and are calculated based on actual sessions booked each full week in a month. Fees must be paid in advance on the first day of each month, by either BACS transfer, Tax-Free Childcare or childcare voucher.
To book a place we require a £75.00 non-refundable registration fee for a new family (Please note this fee is not applicable for fully funded sessions).
Settling in Sessions
At Bourne End Day Nursery, we believe that children flourish when their personal, social and emotional needs are met. With this in mind, we offer Settling in Sessions for your child before they start their nursery adventure. It’s extremely important that your child feels safe and secure in their nursery environment before they start permanent sessions.
During your child’s settling in sessions, we will start to build a relationship with you and your child. You will meet the team and your child’s keyperson. We will start to find out your child’s likes and dislikes, home routine and any other important information.
The aim of these sessions is to ensure that you and your child feel completely happy before you start permanent sessions with us.
Minimum Booking Policy
The minimum number of sessions your child can be booked into at our Hemel Hempstead nursery and preschool is two sessions per week (one session equals either an AM or a PM session).
Please note that the minimum booking policy is not applicable to grant-funded sessions.
Sibling Discount
If you already have a child at our nursery or if you’re registering a place for more than one child, we offer a 10% discount off your oldest child’s nursery fees when their younger sibling starts. Please ask us at the nursery for more information.
