Debt Recovery Services

Debt Recovery for Childcare Providers and Nurseries

Childcare providers and nurseries deliver essential early years education and care with significant staffing and operational costs. When parents delay or default on nursery fees, childcare charges or early years contract payments, the impact on provider finances is severe.

Hay's Collections recovers debts for childcare providers and nurseries across the UK. We pursue unpaid nursery fees, childcare arrears, early years contract debts and late collection charge balances.

In addition to our core No Collection, No Commission debt recovery service, we provide a comprehensive range of ancillary services — including debtor tracing, credit checks, legal escalation, statutory demands and enforcement support — ensuring your case receives the full specialist attention it deserves.
