We welcome applications from families who feel our approach is the right fit for their child. Please read our FAQs before you begin. They explain how our days run, our expectations, and what to expect during the trial. This helps you decide whether our provision suits your family.

Step 1: Visit the space
All visits are by appointment or during an advertised open day. You may book a viewing during classroom hours so you can see the environment in action or attend an open day. For safeguarding, unscheduled visits are not permitted.

Step 2: Application form
After your visit, you will complete our application for a space. This collects your child’s details, your preferred attendance of two or three days each week, and any information that will help us support your child to settle well.

Step 3: Trial period
Eligible children are offered a two-week trial, payable in advance, for a minimum of two days per week. Four-year-olds attend half days. Before the trial begins, parents review and sign a short consent and trial agreement, permissions and allergies.

Step 4: Review meeting
At the end of the trial, you will meet with our guide/parent liaison. Together, you will discuss how your child has engaged with the environment, ask questions, share any concerns, and decide whether Molly Montessori is the right fit.

Step 5: Offer and start date
If a place is offered and space is available, your child may begin as soon as the trial concludes and we have agreed on a start date. If we are full, you may choose to join our waiting list.
