Programmes that look after seven or more children must be registered under the Children's Act 38 of 2005, administered since 1 April 2022 by the Western Cape Department of Basic Education. Ask to see the certificate.
Is it a playschool, a Montessori school or an educare?
Claremont mixes playschools such as Choo Choo Park and Toad Hall, a Montessori option at Sunny Side Montessori, and educares such as Lady Buxton Educare Centre. Playschools usually run mornings, while educares cover the full working day.
How does Grade R work at Grove Primary?
Grove Primary Grade R lists a Grade R class on Grove Avenue. Ask about the application window, whether there is a catchment rule and whether Grade R leads into Grade 1 at the same school.
How close is it to where I live or work?
Claremont and Kenilworth are busy around the station and Main Road. Check the route and parking at drop-off time, and ask whether the school offers early drop-off.
What are the fees and what do they cover?
Ask for the full schedule in writing, including registration, deposit, meals and extramurals.
