Admissions

 Our Nursery provides a vibrant and engaging curriculum which makes full use of our beautiful outdoor spaces and our excellent resources. Children can attend the Nursery for free and can join from the September, January or April after their 3rd birthday. We are currently accepting applications for new starters to join our Nursery.

We provide 15 hours of free education to all children in our nursery, organised over 2½ days.

Session A - Monday and Tuesday all day and Wednesday morning

Session B - Wednesday afternoon and Thursday and Friday all day

Opening times are 8:45am - 3:20pm on all day sessions

                                  8:45am - 11:30am Wednesday mornings

                                  12:35pm - 3:20pm Wednesday afternoons

Visits are warmly welcomed. Please call the school office if you would like a tour.

Some children aged 3+ will be eligible for 30 hours of free childcare. If you are not eligible we can offer additional sessions on days that your child does not normally attend in order to extend the provision. Additional top-up sessions are payable in advance. The Nursery Admissions Policy is available below.
