Fee Information

Kindergarten Fees

2023-2024

For 2023/24 fees, please contact the Valley Kindergarten directly for the latest current figures.  

We are now registered for the tax-free child care scheme.  

All parents will need to sign an invoice to agree payment to the Kindergarten at the end of the term; this invoice is a legally binding document.

Kindergarten 3-5-year olds

The Kindergarten offers free NEF funded hours, 15-30 hours per week.

The Kindergarten is open 38 weeks in the year.

The Kindergarten hours are: 8.00am to 4.00pm

Please enquire about our provision and funding for 2 year olds. 

Once you have agreed the days and sessions your child will attend with the Kindergarten Teacher, an invoice will be sent home, we ask that you sign and return 1 copy of the invoice and payment for the first month/half term is due by the date stated on the invoice

NB Non-payment of fees and subsequent charges.

  • Calder Valley Steiner Education reserves the right to levy 2% interest on overdue arrears at the end of the month.
  • After 30 days non-payment of fees will notify the parent and expect payment within 10 days.
  • Failure to pay this will result in CVSE sending a reminder and charging £15 administration fee, for each subsequent letter sent.
  • If we elect to carry out this process by email we will charge £6.00 per email sent.
  • After 60 days of non-payment CVSE will, after a final letter sent and 14 days’ notice given, send the debt and any subsequent fees on to a debt collector. We will instruct them to pursue the debt through the court. We will charge a further £50 for this plus any fees we are charged by the debt collector. You will also be liable for any court fees that we incur.

Leaving the Kindergarten

If your child is leaving the Kindergarten you are required to provide the Kindergarten with 5 weeks’ written notice, all outstanding fees must be paid during the notice period. NEF monies will be claimed for the 5 week notice period.

Parent and Child Sessions

The sessions are 10am-12.

The cost per session is £7.00

This is to be paid at the beginning of each half term, by either cash, cheque or BACS.
