Early Years Funding

We offer a flexible approach to fees and try to support families in any way we can. Please be aware that the government provides funding NOT free nursery education. There may be an additional charge.

Funding from 9 months – children are only eligible from the term after they turn 9 months old. To check eligibility please visit: https://www.childcarechoices.gov.uk/

Funding for 2 year olds – please visit https://www.childcarechoices.gov.uk/

30 hours funding – eligible children could receive 30 hours funded childcare per week. Here at Chives Montessori we endeavour to offer this as flexibly as possible within our opening hours and within the spaces we have available.

Tax Free Childcare – please click the link below to find out if you are eligible to save 20% on your nursery fees  https://www.childcarechoices.gov.uk/

The school’s enrolment policy does not require a minimum booking however a minimum of 2 sessions per week is strongly recommended.

Sole Provider – In line with government policy and to support children’s emotional development we operate a sole provider policy. We believe children benefit from as much time as possible in their secure relationships with our staff and friends, therefore we do NOT accept children who are attending another Early Years Ofsted registered setting (unless specialist additional support is required).

Information on funding and fees are available at the personal visit.
