Little Fern Home Nursery will provide Montessori-based childcare for up to 6 children in a purpose-adapted residential setting with a forest school garden. The applicant holds AMI (Association Montessori Internationale) certification and operated three home nurseries in New Zealand, achieving 'exceeding' ratings from the national quality framework. Investment of £45,000 covers Montessori learning materials, garden adaptation, safety modifications, and three months of working capital.

Weekly fees of £320 for full-time places. At 100% occupancy with 6 children, annual revenue is £99,840. Little Fern will employ 2 full-time staff (the applicant and an assistant). The AMI-certified Montessori home nursery with dedicated forest school garden is not available at any home daycare within 5 miles.

Two full-time positions: the lead Montessori practitioner and a qualified early years assistant. One part-time administrative support role. Annual payroll of £52,000. Little Fern will host monthly parent workshops on Montessori principles, reaching 72 families annually.

Montessori materials of £8,000 from UK and international suppliers. Garden adaptation of £12,000 using a local landscape gardener. Safety modifications of £6,000 from local trades. Little Fern's intimate 6-child setting enables individualised developmental tracking that parents report as a key differentiator. The parent workshop programme builds community knowledge of child-led education. The forest school component uses the residential garden, reducing the need for transport to separate outdoor learning sites. Tax contributions estimated at £4,000.
