Kids- Time

About this day nursery

Kids-Time Nursery, located in Manchester, M22 8ZZ, operates under a transparent financial policy. Fees are invoiced monthly in advance and are due on the first of each month.

The nursery accepts payments via Famly Pay, Tax-Free Childcare, and, in rare circumstances, cash. A late payment fee of £10 is automatically applied on the next working day for overdue invoices, though this may be waived in exceptional cases with prior management approval.

If a third party is covering fees, parents must inform the nursery and provide evidence of this arrangement. The nursery is open year-round, closing only for two weeks at Christmas, all Bank Holidays, and two annual staff training days.

Full fees are still applicable during absences and closures, and no refunds are provided for emergency closures. Kids-Time offers a sibling discount of 10% on the oldest child's fees, provided both children have paid places, excluding those on term-time funded hours only.

A grace period of five minutes is allowed for late pick-ups, after which a £10 charge is incurred. Parents are requested to inform the nursery if they anticipate being late to collect their child.

While the nursery does not explicitly detail its educational philosophy or curriculum, its commitment to clear financial terms and flexible lunch options suggests a practical approach to childcare provision.

What it's like

Enthusiastic staff welcome children into the setting. Staff have developed caring bonds with the children and this helps them to settle quickly. Children benefit from the curriculum that leaders have designed, which places a strong focus on widening their experiences and supporting communication and language skills.

Pricing & funding

Charges are applied for late payments and late pick-ups. Funded hours do not cover meals, which are billed separately.
