We strive to be as fair and flexible in our childcare options, offering parents an hourly rate rather than sessional. We charge by the hour and can accommodate on the hour, or half past the hour for increased flexibility to suit your needs. We bill monthly for hours booked in. We require a minimum of two sessions per week. We are open 50 weeks of the year, closing for two weeks over Christmas. We are also closed on bank holidays.
We have both an open and closed facebook site, along with our amazing FAMLY app to track the children’s development and allow communication between nursery and home.
We accept the 2 year funding, the universal 15 hour funding and the 30 hour extended funding here at Fairfield Montessori School. All funding types can be claimed term time only.
Please see the childcare choices website link below for more information on the funding. The management team here at Fairfield Montessori School are equipped to be able to help you with any questions you may have regarding the funding.
Every child will receive 15 hour funding the term after their 3rd birthday. If you want to apply for the 30 hour funding, please follow the gov.uk link below to start the application process.
