Nursery
Children are admitted from the term in which they turn 3 by mutual agreement. If possible it is desirable for children in their pre-school year to attend a minimum of 5 morning sessions and build to 5 full days a week for the term before they join Reception class. To enrol at Seaton House Nursery, children must attend a minimum of 5 sessions a week.
* Seaton House participates in the Government 15 hours funding scheme for Early Years, therefore if the child is eligible then the fees quoted above will be partially offset with the funding provided by the Government. The funding is applicable for children attending a minimum of 15 hours.
If a pupil has a sibling at the school, then a 5% discount is applied to the younger sibling’s fees. Once the elder sibling leaves the school the younger sibling reverts to paying the full fee. Similarly, if three siblings are at the school then the 5% discount is applied to the younger two siblings.
Registration fee for Nursery £100.00 (VAT is not added for Nursery registrations)
EARLY YEARS 15 HOURS FUNDING
Seaton House School participates in the Government scheme allowing parents to take the 15 hours free childcare funding.
Where funding is taken the school will issue an invoice for the full published term fees and then deduct the Government allowance. Parents then pay the net balance after the funding deduction. See example below. The school will claim the applicable funding from the Government.
To qualify for funding the following criteria must be met:
Nursery:
Children qualify for funding from the term after they reach 3 years of age. To be clear, therefore, as Seaton House accepts children to start in the Nursery before they reach the age of 3, it could be that funding is not available until after their first term.
Children in Nursery Classes must attend a minimum of 15 hours to be eligible for funding.
Reception:
Funding is applicable up to and including the term in which the child turns 5 years of age.
Whilst we recommend children attend full time from the commencement of the Reception Class (in September), it is not compulsory. However, children must attend a minimum of 15 hours to be eligible for funding. Once children have reached the age of 5, then full time hours are mandatory. As mentioned above, from the term after they are 5, they become ineligible for funding.

Ambassador Referral Scheme – Seaton House School
At Seaton House School, the highest compliment we can receive is the recommendation of our school from our families.
As a token of our appreciation, for every successful referral, the recommending family will receive £500 in credit towards their school fees. It’s our way of saying ‘thank you’ for spreading the word.
Here’s a summary of how it works:
- Who can participate: All current parents of Seaton House School.
- When does it start: 1st April 2025
- Eligible pupils: The recommendation applies to new children joining the school from Nursery – Form VI
- How to recommend:
- The recommended family should contact the Admissions Officer, Mrs. Saunders, by emailing marketing@seatonhouse.sutton.sch.uk or calling 020 8642 2332.
- They should mention the name of the recommending family when getting in touch with us. (Only one family can be named – the offer does not extend to multiple recommendations for the same child).
- If the family decide to make a registration to the school, they should complete the recommendation section on our registration form, stating the name of the recommending family.
- Reward: After the recommended child starts with the school then completes and pays for one term’s (published) fees, the recommending family will receive a one-off £500 deduction from their next school fees bill.
- Important details:
- The £500 is only given as a school fees reduction and cannot be paid out in any other form**.
- The offer is only available to current families attending Seaton House School.
- The £500 payment will be related to each child starting i.e. if two sisters join Seaton House School, 2 x £500 will be deducted from fees.
- The £500 referral payment can only be given to one family.
** If a family leave Seaton House at the end of Form VI, after a recommendation has been received and the recommended child subsequently starts at Seaton House, a £500 reward will be offered as a voucher, assuming:-
- the referral family left at the end of Form VI (no other year groups apply)
- the recommended child starts at Seaton House within 12 months of the referral family leaving the school.
- the recommended child has remained as a pupil for one term.
- the fees of the recommended child have been settled in full.
