Late Payment Fee:
 
If I have not received payment within seven days of the due date, I will issue you with a polite reminder. If I have still not received payment by the 10th day following the original invoice I reserve the right to make an additional charge ‘Late payment Fee’ as per our contract to cover any bank charges I may have incurred.
 
Please see my 'Late Payment policy'

Deposit

I require a deposit of one weeks fee to secure your child's place. If you then decide not to take your child's reserved place the deposit will be forfeited. If, for any reason I am not able to take your child as agreed your deposit will be refunded.
