The three-year-old princess will head back to lessons at Willcocks Nursery School in Kensington next Wednesday, September 5, after a busy summer.
As well as holidaying in Mustique with her parents, Kate and Prince William and her brothers Prince George and Prince Louis, Princess Charlotte has spent the last few months getting to know her new baby brother Prince Louis, who was born on April 23.
Princess Charlotte will now embark on her second year at the £14,550-a-year nursery, close to her family’s London home at Kensington Palace.
The little princess will enjoy pottery and poetry classes at the sought-after nursery, which is rated ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted and located next to the Royal Albert Hall.
Princess Charlotte could be enrolled in the morning school for 32 youngsters, aged three to five, who are in class for five days a week for three hours.
On its website, the nursery says: “It is a fun and structured morning with lots of free play where children embark on the first stages of learning to read, write and to understand simple numbers with the minimum of pressure.”
The morning school runs five days a week from 9am to 12pm where children sing hymns, read poetry and books, play educational games and write.
The adorable youngster could be enrolled on the afternoon session, which runs on just three days – Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays from 2pm to 4pm – starting back at term on Thursday, September 6.
The school says it is less structured than the morning session but there are still a wide range of activities including art and music to take part in, and has a high staff to student ratio.
The 53-year-old school was founded in 1964 by Mrs Diana Willcocks in the hall of Holy Trinity Church in South Kensington, right next door to the Royal Albert Hall.
Today it is run by Headmistress Lavinia Taylor for an annual fee of £14,550 – which doesn’t include the weekly lunch club.
The nursery prides itself on maintaining “an ethos of high standards, excellence and good manners”, according to its website.
Children can also attend the lunch club which is £580 per term for one afternoon a week, £1,160 per term for two afternoons a week and £1,740 per term for all three afternoon during the week.
Parents can register their child at the school from birth which costs £125 and is non-refundable.
However this fee does not secure a place at the school, only ensuring the child is added to the school’s waiting list.
A deposit of £1,500 is payable once a child is accepted into the nursery and will be returned at the end of a child’s final term, provided the school is given a term’s notice in writing.
