No hidden extras and no surprises. Here's what a place costs, how Government-funded hours help, and exactly how to secure yours.
Since September 2025, England's funded-hours scheme covers children from just 9 months old. We're happy to take funded places and will help you work out exactly what you're entitled to.
Funded hours are 570 or 1,140 hours a year (term-time). We can "stretch" them across all 51 weeks we're open, so your funding lasts the whole year. Check what you qualify for at childcarechoices.gov.uk.
Every family's a little different. Tell us your child's age and the hours you're after, and we'll work out exactly what you'd pay - funding included. No jargon, no pressure.
Every rate below includes all Montessori materials and daily garden time. A small weekly consumables charge and per-meal food charge apply on top of your room rate - see the notes below.
| 30 hrs / 15 hrs funded | ||
|---|---|---|
| Room | Funded | Non-Funded |
Baby Room 0 - 2 years · 1:3 | 0* | £13.67 per hour |
Toddler Community 2 - 3 years · 1:5 | 0* | £10.04 per hour |
Children's House 3 - 5 years · 1:8 | 0* | £7.27 per hour |
Indicative 2026 rates for illustration, before any funded hours are applied. Your exact fees - and how your funded hours reduce them - are confirmed in writing at registration.
* Consumables (£10 per week) plus food charges (£1 per meal).
* A £15 late pick-up fee applies if your child is collected after their scheduled pick-up time (15 minutes buffer, once a week).
Your funded hours are deducted from your fees. For the hours beyond your funding, you simply pay the hourly rate. Where hours are funded, we make a small, optional charge for meals and consumables - always shown clearly and never a condition of your place.
Many families also use Tax-Free Childcare (the Government tops up £2 for every £8 you pay, up to £2,000 a year per child) or childcare vouchers from an employer. We accept both, and we offer a sibling discount too.
