- A听non-refundable fee of 拢50 is required to secure a place on the waiting list. This does not guarantee that a place will be available for the schedule and dates required.
- Upon acceptance of a childcare place, half of the estimated monthly fee is required in advance. Fees are paid monthly on the first day of the month for the next month.
- Payments can be made by salary sacrifice through UCL payroll, childcare vouchers or cheque. See UCL's HR pages on听Tax Efficient Childcare Facilities听for more details.听
- Additional sessions purchased, over and above normal booked sessions, will be charged monthly in addition to the equal monthly amounts.
- No refund is听offered in the event of the child鈥檚 absence due to illness, holiday or for any other reason.听This is because the Nursery has to reserve a place for the child with appropriate staffing in advance.
- Any change to a child鈥檚 booking pattern will be implemented at the start of the following month, providing听at least two weeks鈥� notice is given to the Nursery manager.
- The UCL Day Nursery reserves the right to increase the fees at any time by giving one calendar month鈥檚 written notice听of the proposed increase to the parents or guardian.

- In the event of the parent/guardian giving notice of withdrawal of the child and immediately withdrawing the said child there shall be due to the nursery two calendar month鈥檚 fees in lieu of notice.
