Additional Services Charge

The funded hours are free of charge but we offer an additional services charge package for specialist one-to-one tuition in Maths and English, summative and formative reports, as well as small group sessions in Kinderama, Teddy Tennis, Rhyme Time, Little Kickers, and Yoga.

These specialist activities go above and beyond the scope of the usual EYFS framework and drive children to excel in their nursery school and future school life. It is what Melrose House has built its foundation on; strong, purposeful and thorough tuition.
