Registration & Fees
School Fees
Our fees are inclusive apart from school trips, which are charged separately at cost. The fees are shown on a weekly basis (because terms differ in length) but there is a commitment to pay for a whole term – usually 14 weeks in the Autumn term, 12 weeks in the Spring term and 12 weeks in the Summer term.
Fees are payable by cheque to Sunshine Montessori School. They are usually paid termly in advance. However they can be paid monthly in advance to spread the cost of payment. The childcare voucher scheme operated by some employers is also an accepted payment method.

* We are registered with the Buckinghamshire Education Department as a member of the Early Years Development Partnership. Consequently we are able to apply for funding for your child from the term after he/she has reached 3 years of age for the morning and afternoon Montessori sessions.
** We ask for voluntary contributions to help us maintain our high standards.
These fees are correct at the time of going to press. They are reviewed annually and therefore may have changed by the time your child starts. You are welcome to ring to check price details at any time.
Notice of withdrawal must be given in writing a term in advance.
No refunds are given for absence from school.
Registration
To place your child's name on the waiting list, please fill in and return the
registration form. You will be advised by post when a place is available. A
£50 non-refundable deposit will be due at this time to secure the place. This
will be deducted from the last term's fees. Your child must be dry on starting,
as we do not have baby changing facilities on site.
Visit the School
School visiting and viewing the school is welcome but by appointment only. You
should contact Virginia Roden to arrange an appointment.
Feedback for Parents
Detailed confidential records of your child's achievements are kept and there
are regular formal and informal opportunities to discuss your child's progress.
