Payments

There are several ways to make payments.

All payments must be made on or before the 1st of each month for that month’s fees.

Please visit our locations page to find out more about where each of our nurseries are situated. We have over 40 nurseries across England.

Our Nurseries

Direct Debit

This is our preferred method of payment as detailed in our terms and conditions.

We ask all parents to set up a direct debit during your child’s settling-in sessions.

Vouchers

Ashbourne Day Nurseries accepts all voucher payments from all voucher companies.

All vouchers must be released one week before the 1st of the month, paying in advance; please use the reference provided by your nursery when allocating the vouchers.

If you are likely to book extra sessions, we will ask you to sign up to direct debit – your account will remain at £0.00 until payments are required for extra sessions.

If you are paying part of your fees by voucher, we ask you to set up a direct debit for the remaining amount.

Tax Free Childcare

Ashbourne Day Nurseries accepts payment via Tax Free Childcare providing this is released before the 1st of the month and paid in advance. Please use the reference provided by your nursery when allocating the payments.

Discounts

Get Started

We are pleased to offer two discounts here at Ashbourne Day Nurseries.

One discount is a 10% sibling discount and the other is a 10% discount for all families who are working within the NHS, Emergency Services and Armed Forces.

The Ashbourne Day Nurseries’ policy is that only one discount is able to be applied per family, either the sibling discount or the NHS, Emergency Services and Armed Forces discount.

Sibling Discount

Please speak to your nursery manager when registering your second child if you would like to use the sibling discount.

When you have two or more children that attend our nurseries our 10% sibling discount is applied to the eldest child only. This discount will only apply to the eldest child’s regular booking pattern.

The second child registering with us will also receive a 50% discount on their registration fee.

The sibling discount does not apply to any extra sessions, registration fees or other fees incurred.

Recommend a Friend

Do you know someone who is looking for childcare?

We would love to welcome them to our nursery and to say thank you, you could receive up to 50% off one month’s fees!

When you recommend a friend and their child joins us, both families can benefit. Once their child has been with us for three months, your discount will be applied.

The amount you save depends on how many sessions your friend books:

  • If they register for 2 or 3 sessions per week, you’ll both receive 25% off one month’s fees.
  • If they register for 4 or more sessions per week, you’ll both receive 50% off one month’s fees.

You can refer as many friends as you like! If multiple referrals qualify, the discounts will be applied over consecutive months (one discount per month, up to 50%).

Terms and Conditions

  • Discounts apply to one child per family, the one with the highest monthly fees.
  • Both families must have fee payments up to date to qualify.
  • You can refer as many friends as you like. If multiple referrals qualify, discounts will be applied over consecutive months (one discount per month, up to 50%).
  • The referral discount is only valid for fee-paying children.
  • Discounts are applied once the referred child has attended for three months and will show on your fourth month’s invoice.
