Early Years Entitlement Funding3 & 4 year olds are entitled to 15 hours of funded childcare a week during the 36 weeks in which we are open every year. Some will be eligible to 30 hours. Children become eligible in the term after they turn 3 years old.
At Albany Montessori School we offer a small number of fully government funded places. However, these are very limited – usually 1 or 2 per year.

How do I apply for a fully funded place?
Prospective parents wishing to apply for a fully funded place must come to the nursery and collect an application form in person. Please be aware we cannot guarantee a place will be allocated and will only be able to confirm the place at the end of the preceding term.

What happens if all fully funded places are gone?
Unfortunately the government funding falls very short of our own running costs. We would love to be in a position to offer all parents a fully funded place. However, until the funding is increased to a realistic rate we are unable to do this.

Private funded places
As an alternative we offer private funded places. The overall cost of sessions will be reduced so you continue to benefit from the Early Years entitlement. The first 3 hours of these places are covered by the funding and there is a fee for the remaining time as detailed in our fees. Click here to return to the fees page.
