     Montessori Cloud-Based Learning & Communication Application Fee
 
This fee supports the use of our secure Montessori-aligned, cloud-based child application, which plays an important role in supporting your child’s learning and our partnership with parents. The platform is used by our qualified practitioners to record observations, track learning outcomes, and build individual child profiles, ensuring each child’s progress is carefully monitored and supported in line with Montessori principles and the EYFS.
The application also serves as a central communication hub for families. It provides parents with access to learning updates, photographs, notices, nursery communications, expert advice, and useful articles on child development. In addition, it securely stores our nursery policies and key documents, helping us reduce paper use and operate in a more environmentally responsible, paper-free way.
By using this system, we are able to maintain accurate records, share meaningful insights into your child’s development, and strengthen communication between home and nursery, while ensuring data security and confidentiality.
