For billing and communication, the nursery uses a leading nursery management system called Famly. This provides up-to-date information of your child's care and is an easy way to receive billings and make payments. Families are invoiced through Famly and all bookings and session fees are recorded via this system. ALL fees must be paid in advance.
The FAMLY app is also how we can communicate any accidents, incidents and illnesses in real time. Safeguarding is held in high regard at Woodlands, and it is vital we have a good communication system in place.
Woodlands Childcare offers places via the Childcare Offer (CCO) scheme for 3-year-olds and Flying Start scheme for 2-year-olds. The CCO scheme can provide up to 30 hours of free childcare per week including school holidays.
