A Fee Agreement on the registration form is supplied to all parents for completion and signing before the child starts his/her schooling at Pebbles Nursery School here in Bedfordview, acknowledging responsibility of full payment.
A registration fee is payable on the acceptance of your child into the school. This is R1000.00 per child. This is a once-off payment in the first year of schooling, which includes the Pebbles Kit (a hat, t-shirt, drawstring bag and an art folder). If you should cancel your registration less than 20 days before your child’s agreed starting date, a reasonable cancellation fee of R1000 will be payable.

- Fee collection procedure: We understand that many are struggling with the economy and difficult business situations, and so are paying late. Unfortunately we cannot operate efficiently with a backlog of late payments, so we have implemented the following system. We do still have an open door policy, so please continue to communicate with us regarding late fee payments.
