Albany Montessori School Fees
Nursery School & Preschool St Albans

Nursery School Fees

Fees and contributions are requested termly in advance. Funding is available for 3 and 4 year olds for five sessions per week for up to 15 hours per week. Fees must still be paid if children are absent without notice for a short period of time. If your child has to be absent over a long period of time, talk to Fawzia Topan who is the Manager. For your child to keep her/his place at the setting, you must pay the fees. Where funding is not received, then full fees apply. 

Nursery Funding

​​15 hours 3 & 4 year old funding is available for all three and four year olds starting the term after their third birthday. Hertfordshire County Council will fund a maximum of five sessions per week, a session being 1 morning session or 1 afternoon including lunch, or, in the case of a full day, 6 hours.

Child Care Vouchers

We accept child care vouchers. Please contact the school to find out if we are already signed up to a particular scheme.

Tax-Free Childcare Scheme

We are registered with the tax-free childcare scheme.

30 Hours Funding

Some parents will be eligible for 30 hours funding. This will be allocated as 3 hours per session, a session being 1 morning session or 1 afternoon session, or, in the case of a full day, 6 hours.​

Notice of Withdrawal

A full term’s notice of withdrawal is required. Otherwise, a full term’s fees will be charged. Notice must be in writing to the school to be received on or before the first day of term at the end of which the pupil is to be withdrawn.

EARLY YEARS ENTITLEMENT FUNDING

In the term after children turn 3 they benefit from Early Years entitlement funding which will reduce the cost of each session. The first 3 hours of each session are funded by the funding scheme. However, our privately funded sessions are slightly longer than the 3 hours, so there is an excess to pay (set out in our fees above).
