About this document
The written agreement between your setting and the parents of each child. It sets out the booked sessions, fees, how funded hours work (free at the point of use, with optional extras only), deposits, payment, absence and sickness, closures, collection, notice and complaints, with schedules for the booking, optional extras and closure dates.
The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.
Our templates are professionally structured starting points for UK businesses, not legal advice. For anything complex, unusual or high-value, have your final version checked by a solicitor.
