Nursery 

Welcome to our Nursery! We look forward to being part of your child’s learning journey.

We pride ourselves in providing excellence in Early Years education. Our Nursery provides exciting learning opportunities for children aged 3 and 4.  Children learn and develop skills throughout our exciting environment which incorporates both indoor and outdoor spaces. Our staff use high quality interactions to develop children’s language and communication in each area of the curriculum. Our nursery team are well equipped to support your child’s transition from nursery to the main school when it is time for them to join Reception.

It is never too early to register your child to join our Nursery, so whatever their age, come in and fill out our registration form and we will contact you nearer the time to offer you a place if you still require it.

We also welcome parents to look around our school and nursery, see what we have to offer and to ask any questions you may have.

15 hours free childcare

All families in England with children aged 3 or 4 are entitled to 15 hours of FREE childcare. This can be taken as a morning or afternoon place. We will always try to allocate your preferred session but this is dependent on spaces available.

15 hours free childcare - Find out more about what you are entitled to through the government's 'Childcare Choices' website

30 hours free childcare

Working families in England may be entitled to 30 hours of FREE childcare. Click the link below to see if you are eligible for a 30 hour code and then let us know.

Our 30 hour offer is:

• 5 full days (8:30-3:30) Children can be collected over the lunch period or stay in  nursery for this period.

Staying over the lunch period means they attend for an extra hour each day (35 hours per week ) which incurs a daily cost of £6.00

To be entitled you, and any partner, must each expect to earn at least the equivalent to 16 hours at the National Minimum or Living Wage. If you, or your partner, are on maternity, paternity or adoption leave, or you're unable to work because you are disabled or have caring responsibilities, you could still be eligible. You can get 30 hours free childcare at the same time as claiming Universal Credit, tax credits, childcare vouchers or Tax-Free Childcare. However, you can't get 30 hours free childcare if either you, or your partner, each individually expect to earn £100,000 or more.

To keep your 30 hours free childcare place you need to check your details are up to date every 3 months.

Are there any additional costs?

All 3 and 4 year olds are entitled to 15 hours of FREE childcare, and some families may be entitled to 30 hours of FREE childcare.

Our costs are as follows:

If your child attends for more than their funding entitlement, any additional hours are charged at £6.00 per hour.

Nursery Lunches

Children who attend our Nursery for 30 funded hours can stay for lunch. Unfortunately we are unable to offer them a cooked school meal from the kitchen, they will need to bring their own packed lunch from home.
