Fees & funding | Elmwood Montessori School
how much will it cost?

Our fees & funding

We offer a minimum of 15 hours per week, booked in advance, which can be mix’n’matched (so you can have some morning, some afternoons and some full days, as you prefer, though once hours are booked, they can’t be swapped). All fees are payable monthly in advance. All attendance options are available during term time only OR stretched over 48 weeks of the year.

We accept 15 and 30 Hours funding, please see below for additional services charges.

We offer up to two fully funded, or completely ‘free’ places to children per year. Please CLEARLY state that you are applying for a fully funded place when you apply to us. Places are allocated on first come first served basis. Once these places are filled, you can still use your funding, but will be required to pay an additional services charge. Please ask us for a specific quote. You will only pay these fees for hours that your child attends nursery over their funding entitlement hours. Funded hours attract an ‘additional services charge’ – please see below.

All fees are payable in full (including Bank Holidays when we are shut) regardless of a child’s absence due to sickness, family holidays, or your own choice.

Why we're loved

Happy families

We know that what other parents think is important to you, so don't just take our word for it...

“We’ve been so very lucky to have this wonderful school a few minutes away from home! My son spent there 2 very happy years and really came out of his cocoon thanks to the fabulous hard work and dedication of the teachers. He didn’t really speak when he joined and 2 years on he is a true chatterbox and that is almost entirely the school’s merit.”

Rayna Popova

“The best of the best is The de Lacey! All 3 of my babies thrived the moment they arrived. 4 years of nothing but support love and care for all is us as a family and forever grateful for having somewhere safe to leave my children, nothing better than to be reassured in the times of mum guilt, thankyou for everything I would highly recommend.”

Chaenan Bertinelli

“I am really impressed with the individual attention my daughter receives. The staff know her well and cater for her diet. She is happy, and safe and has grown in confidence”
