MAA Membership

How it works

After submitting your toolkit, you will be visited by a Montessori Assessor. If you meet all our criteria you will receive an Accreditation stamp and a written report. This stamp will prove that you are a true Montessori by MAA standards. This stamp and report can be shared with parents and on advertising material.

What are the benefits to you?

The scheme helps to work towards a quality benchmark and improve the outcomes for the children in your setting. Staff ultimately become motivated and proud to be a part of the process.

We will also publish our accredited settings on our website and send our students to do their placement with you.

How long does it take?

You can start the process at any time. We will send you a toolkit to complete which is a working document which needs to be completed by management and staff team. Once we receive the tool kit and feel you are ready for your visit, it will be booked in with one of our assessors.

Is there any criteria that you need to meet before applying?

At least 50% of staff in ratios need to be qualified in Montessori – this includes our Online Montessori course and Montessori Diploma.

We also have a checklist of the required Montessori equipment.

How much does the accreditation cost?

The cost to do the accreditation with us is £599+VAT

How long is the accreditation valid for?

3 years from the date of Accreditation.
