At Happylands Nursery, we are committed to providing high-quality childcare, early education, and enriching experiences for all of our children.
To enable us to continue investing in our learning resources, educational activities, facilities, utilities, and dedicated staff team, our fees will be updated from 4 January 2027.
Fees from 4 January 2027
| Service | Current Fee | New Fee |
|---|---|---|
| Nursery Care | £5.90 per hour | £6.40 per hour |
| Daily Snack | Included/Current Rate | 50p per child, per day |
| Breakfast Club | Current Rate | 75p per child, per day |
We understand that any increase in childcare costs can be difficult, and this decision has not been taken lightly. However, rising operating costs mean these changes are necessary to ensure we can continue to provide the high standards of care, learning, and support that families expect from Happylands Nursery.
Even with these changes, we remain one of the most affordable childcare providers in the Ripon area, offering excellent value alongside a nurturing and stimulating environment for children to learn and grow.
Parents and carers will receive an updated fee agreement and further details separately.
If you have any questions about these changes, please contact our team during nursery opening hours or email us at HappylandsNurseryRipon@outlook.com. We will be happy to help.
Thank you for your continued support of Happylands Nursery.
We kindly ask that all invoices are paid in advance, by the last working day of each month. If payment is not received by the due date shown on your invoice, a late payment charge of £10.00 will be added.
To support our staff and ensure children’s safety, we also apply a late collection fee. A charge of £10.00 for every 15 minutes, or part thereof, will apply if a child is collected after their agreed finish time. This helps cover the additional staffing and operating costs involved.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to speak to a member of the team.
