Yes that’s normal. For our nursery it’s £85 deposit per child
@Sophie honestly i don’t think the price caught me off guard as much but because I have twins I didn’t have money to just hand over rn but that’s nice to know as I’ll make sure it’s a nursery I’m dead set on xx
We paid a deposit of £20 and were actually moving next week so we’ve had to take her off the waiting list. Can’t believe how expensive they can be!
@Liv yeah especially as it wouldn’t be until September either 😅
We’ve put our name down for a Sept 2026 preschool already! But yup deposits are standard. You could try a childminder?
Try a preschool, I didn’t put a deposit down for my boys preschool. Also, if you pay the deposit would you then get it taken off your first invoice? Or is it just £50 per child on top of that invoice?
Very normal. I paid £550 deposits for a private nursery! Then £50 for pre/school.
Our little boy attends private nursery and we didn't have to put a deposit down so they do exist but it's also normal to have to
Yes, it's standard to have to put down a deposit. I can't remember what we paid but I think it was more than £50 so that's actually pretty reasonable (at my little boy's nursery that's only half a day's fees!)
