Enrolment
We would always recommend that you view the nursery before making your final decision to place your child with us. Following your visit to Hoodles Childcare the process of enrolment is as follows: we will check our occupancy to ensure the days or sessions you require are available.
If your required sessions are available we will issue you with the Enrolment Form, Consent Form and all About Me Form for you to complete with your child’s personal information. If your required days or sessions are unavailable you can elect to place your child on our Waiting List.
Our Waiting List operates on a ‘first come, first served’ basis however priority is given to children who currently have siblings attending Hoodles Childcare. A deposit of £150 (full time) or £75 (part time) is required to reserve a place at Hoodles Childcare. This amount will be deducted from your first month’s invoice. Upon receipt of the above forms and deposit, we will confirm your nursery place with you, in writing. You will be invoiced monthly in advance. We accept payment by Cash, Credit/Debit Cards, DirectDebit, Employers Childcare Vouchers and/or Tax Free Childcare.
