Rozey Days Montessori Fishponds Fees
A deposit of one month’s fees is required before childcare can commence. This will be held until you child leaves the setting. This covers any outstanding bills you may have; late payments charge, late collection charge etc. This deposit will be held in a separate bank account and returned to you.
If your child is absent charges will still apply (Illness and Family holidays etc).

The EYFS provision is the minimum requirement for nurseries to follow. However, as a Montessori nursery we invest a significant amount of money into ensuring the children have a rich, high quality early years' experience. Without the additional voluntary contributions many of these valuable experiences would not be possible.
If you opt not to pay the voluntary charges below your child will not have access to any of the materials and experiences listed. This may mean your child will be placed in another room while their peers are baking, on trips or joining in with activities not in the statuary framework. This will also include access to our software so you will not receive observations or update about your child's day, outside of drop off and pick-ups. You will not be invited to any celebration and cultural events or evening talks, including parents' evenings. Please note you will need to provide a hot vegan nut free lunch and vegan snack that meets all our allergen/dietary requirements, or you have the choice to take your child home for the lunch hour.
If you any questions about the above charges, please contact the nursery.
