Dear Parents, Guardians, and Carers,
Pursuant to our email on April 1st regarding the changing structure of our invoices and fees, following the government's new requirements, we are writing to remind you that the grace period is expiring and as of the 1st September 2025, your new invoices will be live, along with our updated fees. These updated fees will appear on invoices sent at the end of July and are payable from early August.
We know that fee changes can prompt questions, and we want to ensure every family feels informed, supported, and confident about what this means. That’s why we’re inviting you to speak directly with your nursery manager. You can read more about the changes here, along with our request for your input on potential relocation options for our school in light of the new development at London Wall West that will materialise in the coming years.
