Monthly Fees


MONTHLY FEES FROM MAY 2023 TO APRIL 2024

for all year attendance, 50 weeks

Fees for 50 weeks are divided into 12 equal monthly payments, so they are the same every month


FEES FOR CHILDREN AGE 2 YEARS TO 3 YEARS

(children not receiving the funding)


FEES FOR 3-5 YEAR OLDS

(children receiving the funding)

Funded 3 and 4 year olds attending all year school are required to attend a minimum of 18 hours per week; the funding covers 11.4 hours per week over 50 weeks per year and is therefore accessed as part of a larger package.

Children may access the funded hours on their own by attending  1 day from 1pm to 6pm and 2 days 3pm to 6pm or 5 days 3-6pm term time.


Combinations of sessions available, please ask for a quote. Fees below only apply to the first 15 hours.

The fees for grant-funded children are stand-alone fees as they have grant funding deducted up to 11.4 hours (stretched 15 hours), but cannot be added together for longer attendance. Please email or call if you require a mix of sessions.


As a Montessori School, we provide in addition to the basic grant-funded hours:

  • Fresh fruit or alternative break-time snack for each child every day. This promotes healthy eating at an early age.
  • All our Montessori Teachers/keyworkers are employed for additional time each week for planning activities for each individual child to meet their specific learning needs related to learning goals and based on recorded observations in class. A detailed report is provided for each child at the end of each term.
  • My Montessori Child Progress Tracking system which is the leading Montessori system for tracking children’s progress in achieving the Montessori and EYFS goals
  • An extensive range of Montessori learning and play equipment designed to help children develop.
  • Montessori trained and qualified staff.
  • Full Montessori curriculum
  • Forest School activities
  • Extra staff to enable a 1:6 staff to child ratio for 3-4 year-olds. This enables more attention for each child at this important stage in their development, than the 1:8 ratio required by Early Years.
  • Where a child attends more than 15 hours per week we also charge for the additional time.
  • Extra-curricular activities, such as spanish, tennis and multisport (please ask for the latest list of activities) provided by specialist coaches.
