Deposits

[sillyoldsausage]

Are deposits refundable or count towards fees if you give required notice at private day nurseries? Sorry! I am confused

refundable when they leave at DS's nursery

what does your contract say?

Just at stage of viewing places and one said that the deposit was non refundable...I really liked the place, but got a bit confused as to what the norm is, as i don't want to part with my hard earned cash unless absolutely necessary!

At my son's nursery they refunded the deposit after he'd left (with all fees paid).

I think "non-refundable" deposits refer to the nurseries where you pay a deposit before your child starts, but don't get it back if you decide not to take up the place.

just pad non-refundable registration fee (£40), plus deposit refundable with 4 weeks' notice.
