Please note: A multi-day discount has been applied to all 4 and 5 day places. For funded places, a discount has been applied to the additional charges (age group dependent and excluding 2 day places). Fees are calculated based on the 51 weeks of the year that N is open, averaged into 12 monthly payments. Monthly payments will include bank and public holidays as well as inset days, which are payable in full in spite of closure, as our monthly staffing costs remain the same.

3 years +: £82.00 per standard day
Fees include all food, drink, consumables and activities.
Fees are due in advance, and we issue invoices mid-month for the following month with Direct Debits taken on the 30th of each month. For Payments via Tax-Free childcare or Childcare Vouchers, fees are due by the last day of the month. Unfortunately there can be no refunds for sickness or holidays. Any fee increases will be communicated 2 months before affecting your invoice and are based on the nursery’s running costs.
You can extend the standard day (8-6pm) by up to an hour each way at the same hourly rate on a pay as you go basis - i.e. £8.65/hr for under 3s or £8.20/hr for 3 years+; equivalent to £2.16/15mins or £2.05/15mins.

To join the waiting list at N, families are required to pay a waiting list registration fee of £150.
On accepting a place, this fee will become a non-refundable joining fee, and you’ll be asked to pay a £250 place acceptance fee, which will be deducted from your final invoice.
Families who are eligible for the 30 hours of funding are responsible for applying for a positive determination of eligibility from HMRC - e.g. a valid eligibility code. You must apply for the code before the 30th of the term before in order for the code to be eligible. The term start dates are 1st January, 1st April, and 1st September. The eligibility code must be provided to us before your child's early years funding can be claimed.
Located close to the heart of Birmingham, our Harborne nursery is a sensitive restoration of a period building and packed full of features, including six light-filled play rooms, a sensory room, a family lending library and a large garden – complete with a climbing structure and covered story area.
We’re all about making things easier for our families, and the buggy, bike, and scooter stores mean you can head off hands-free after drop-off. Even better, our welcoming N Café will serve (much-needed!) coffee and snacks, meaning you’ll be set up for the day in just the right way!
