BLUE BUTTERFLY MONTESSORI FEES
At Blue Butterfly Montessori, we aim to provide exceptional early years education and care that is both high-quality and accessible. We offer a range of flexible funding options and clear fee structures to support families in planning childcare that meets their needs.
Admissions
We welcome children from 3 months to 5 years and offer places based on availability, staffing, and our commitment to inclusion and equality. Priority is given to siblings and families who return completed registration forms early.
All families are invited to visit the nursery before registering interest. Once a place is offered, a structured settling-in process helps children transition smoothly into nursery life.
For full details on our admissions process, including waiting list, offers, deposits, and settling sessions, please refer to our Admissions Policy.

Premium Provision Charges
Early Years Funding covers basic childcare only. It does not include meals, snacks, consumables, extra services, or additional hours.

The Premium Provision Fee is based on the average monthly cost of these enhancements.

Monthly Provision Charges
We serve fresh, balanced vegetarian meals daily, prepared by our on-site chefs using a Healthy Early Years London-approved menu.
Meals include a main, dessert, and snacks, with allergen-aware and dietary-specific options available.
Food charges are based on your child’s attendance and reflect actual meal costs. These are separate from any funded childcare hours.
