• What are Additional Services Charges?
  The government has a scheme to help working parents with childcare costs by offering Publicly Funded hours of childcare. Here at The Elmwood Montessori School we are keen to offer you the benefits of this offer, as well as the standard 15 hours funding offer.
  As the funding rate the government pays us is not enough to cover our costs, we will only be able to offer two fully funded places at any one time.
  We offer our remaining places with a small ‘additional services’ charge for the many services that we offer you over and above those that we are required to offer.
  Although we are required to tell you that the government hours are ‘free’ it is much more useful to view them as a subsidy, which is what they are in reality.
  The Additional Services’ that your fee will be paying for include the following:
  •   One-to-one Montessori teaching workshops every day, tailored to the unique needs of your individual child, allowing them to excel quickly
  •   Staff qualified well in excess of that required, including Montessori qualified teachers, and an Early Years Professional
  •   A staff ratio that is always much higher than we are required to provide, so key persons have just 6 or so key children to focus on
  •   A staff team accredited in the delivery of the ‘Let’s Talk Together’ programme each and every day, all day, ensuring that your child has quality speech and language development input every time they interact with a staff member,
  •   A staff team accredited in the delivery of the ‘Healthy Early Years’ programme each and every day, all day, focusing on making healthy eating, physical activity, personal, social and emotional development and wellbeing an integral part of all we do,
  •   Forest School sessions for every child,
  •   Weekly specialist sessions in Art, Cookery and Drama.
