Payment
Payment
Fees are payable in full for each month in advance, via direct debit. Please complete a direct debit mandate form as part of the application and registration process.
Fees are calculated at a fixed monthly rate based on your child's weekly sessions. This is calculated by multiplying the number of weekly sessions by 50 weeks which is then divided by 12 months to produce an average monthly cost.
Weekly Fees x 50 (weeks)/12 (months) = monthly invoice (average monthly cost)
3+ 15 hours and 30 hours funding entitlement does not include consumables or other additional services which all our privately funded sessions receive, as such, a monthly consumable fee of £50 per month for 15 hours entitlement and £100 per month for 30 hours entitlement will be applied.
Registration Fee
We require a non-refundable fee of £100.00 to secure your child's place. Your child's booking is not confirmed until this is received with all the corresponding forms completed and signed.

Childcare vouchers are accepted. Please confirm the scheme to which you belong and we will provide you with the respective account details for Little Cakes Montessori.
