Nursery registration fee??

For anyone using the governments new free childcare scheme, does this cover the registration fee you have to pay for nurseries? I was so shocked a nursery requested £200 to complete my registration for the waiting list!!

I highly doubt it. I've paid registration fees, standard practice

Well you can definitely put it through the tax free govt account as this fee will normally be deducted from your 1st invoice. I did it last year. A 40 £ contribution from the govt as you paid 200 (as they contribute 8 pounds towards every 2 pound you put it in) is fabulous. Every penny counts these days!! And it is standard practice for a registration fees but as far as I am aware it gets deducted from your 1st invoice.... so deffo process it though your childcare account

@Rebecca i’ve never paid a registration fee, wouldn’t call it standard practice as not every single nursery has this in place.

@Melody most do though! I've enquire d at several nurseries recently and they all had registration fees!

@Rebecca all the ones i enquired with didn’t :) the nursery my son ultimately went to didn’t either. How funny how different our experiences are.

We had to put £50 deposit down to secure/reserve our daughters space. I didnt use the tax free element for it but I don't see why you can't x

You can use the 20% off on registration fees

Paid £250 registration for my boy and he’s not even starting until June next year haha

I was told for anything OVER the hours it was £100 to complete registration but for government funded hours alone it is not required.
