If a parent wants their child to go to Aston University Nursery, they have to pay a non-fundable booking fee of £50. Before this, the parent will have to go on a waiting list, and then they are contacted as to whether or not their child got the place. This is to ensure that their child has a place at the nursery and that the parents are certain that they want their child/children to join the nursery. Thirty places are assigned to the use of Aston University students and then staff, followed by the non-university users if there are spaces available. Also, thirty places are allocated to Matthew Boulton College students. Places are given in each of the four care rooms; 7 places for 0-1 year olds; 8 places for 1-2 year olds; 7 places for 2-3 year olds and 8 places for 3-5 year olds.

The structure of fees is decided by Aston University and it is reviewed yearly. If there are any changes to the structure, parents are notified in the form of a re-issue of the terms and conditions of a nursery. If fees are not paid on time, this will result in the child losing their place within the Nursery.
