Nursery Sessions & Fees
A Nursery That Fits Your Life
Our Nursery is divided into two year groups:
Half Monte: from the start of term in which your child turns 3.
Top Monte: for children aged 3-4, usually in the year before they move into Reception.
At St Chris we offer four different sessions in the Nursery with a minimum sessions policy to help children establish a regular routine - four sessions for Half Monte children and six sessions for Top Monte children.
Fees include lunches, snacks, and trips – with no additional charges to pay
