Dear All,
I appreciate your help with an expensive problem. I enrolled my son into a local independent nursery which is part of a school for up to age 11. My intention was really for him to go to the nursery only but to move on state school at school age. He was 4 in September2015 and as a consequence he could not go to government school. I therefore asked for him to be placed in reception with the intention of repeating this year. He has now a place at the local state school where he will repeat reception . The independent school where he is currently at reception have said that I will need to pay a full term tuition fee as I was short of the term notice. I was shown the contract I signed 3 years ago when my son started nursery. The contract is titled nursery and school. I feel this is unfair as it is a rolling contract being applied for a school which is very different in structure for the nursery which he had started with, different in number of days, fees, hours and school year. There was no reminder given regarding the rolling contract or notice period. Most of the children do not stay on from nursery so the argument that the school mentions that the nursery is a feeder for the school is not realistic.
