For 15 hour parents who wish to pay for additional sessions, these are charged at £5.50 per hour;
· any additional sessions are discussed & agreed with the Early Years Lead.
· any additional sessions are agreed on a termly basis to ensure that staffing & groupings can accommodate the additional sessions
· all additional sessions must be paid for in full, in advance, on a half termly basis to prevent parents accruing any debt. All agreed sessions will be added as a booking on MCAS before the start of the half term in which provision will be taken. If a child joins our Nursery provision during a half term and additional hours are requested and can be provided, the agreed sessions will be added to MCAS prior to the sessions starting.
· additional sessions cannot be provided if they have not been paid for in advance, to prevent parents accruing any debt
· any missed agreed additional sessions must be paid for, refunds will not be provided if children miss additional sessions due to illness, holidays etc. as staffing levels are agreed on a termly basis
· additional sessions are paid for via the parent app, MCAS (MyChildAtSchool)
