We are a private pre-school, which means that although you can take full advantage of all of the various government schemes available to you, there will be additional service charges to pay. Please see below for more details, and message us directly for a personalised quote. All fees are payable in full in advance each month, regardless of sickness, holidays or any other absence. We are open during school term time only.
The school is run on a full time, 30 hour week, basis, which all children are expected to attend, and the fee for the 2018-19 year is £2,950 per term.
This breaks down to only £232.90 per week over the 38 week school year, or £46.58 per day (this fee is reduced for those who are three or over; please see below).
Payments are made by monthly direct debit, via GoCardless, paid on 1st of each month for 12 months from 1st August.
Fees for school year will be £737.50 per month from August 1st – July 1st.

We accept both ‘Childcare Vouchers’ and ‘Tax Free Childcare’ payments. Parents paying using either scheme will have their yearly fee, after voucher payments, calculated and divided over 12 months from August 1st. Please ask us for a quote.

We know that what other parents think is important to you, so don't just take our word for it...
The De Lacey Montessori and all their staff have been tremendous in the way that they have helped to nurture, teach, grow and develop our son.
The warm, caring and friendly environment coupled with putting the needs of each child at the centre of what you do, has helped to establish my child and others in his group as being slightly ahead of other children that I have observed during “big school” inductions. My son looks forward to attending every day as for him it feels like a home away from home – the difference only being he has more friends to play and learn from whilst there. Thank you for the last 2 years and a bigger thank you for preparing our son for the next chapter in his life – big school and doing so in such an empowering way. The school and the staff will always be in my son’s heart and we as a family will always be grateful for the head start that you have given him. We could not have done this without you and I can’t commend, be grateful, thankful or recommend you enough to other parents.
A place where my both the kids were always happy,cheerful and eager to go. I am so proud of Charley and her team that they take care of each and every child needs and ensure they grow and develop with the much needed skills before they start the school . I have seen not only mine but other children as confident and felt contend at drop offs and pick ups. I would highly recommend Delacey to the new parents.
My son, now 4, has been attending this preschool since he was 2 and every morning he is very happy to go. He is learning while having fun and it’s great to see how proud he is when he learns something new. The staff are nourishing, caring and very professional. At this preschool the focus is not only about academic abilities but about creativity, social skills, respect. This was exactly what I was looking for and the reason why I am very grateful my daughter will be able to attend the same school.
De Lacey have been instrumental in the development of my daughter. I have found every single staff member dedicated to the work they do with the children. Everything within the nursery is so well thought out. The Key workers have always consulted me regularly and given me direction in how I can best support my daughter. The nursery includes ALL the family in social functions which gives a great sense of togetherness, which is especially important for us as a family. It doesn’t feel like a nursery but more like one big family and the children are cared for accordingly. They are even great at supporting parents like myself through transitions and a change in family circumstances. For example, when we had another baby, they supported my daughter alongside us. And also, when we had a family bereavement, the staff not only gave the care to my daughter but also us as a couple. This is a great place to send any child as they truly recognise how to get the best from each child and celebrate them.
We have created a series of '1 Page Guides' packed with tips and information on the most common areas that parents ask us about at school. These guides cover all of the following:
● Choosing A Nursery ● Why Choose Montessori ● Toileting & Toilet Training ● Your Guide to Early Years Funding ● Fussy Eaters ● Independence Building ● Why Outdoor Learning
