Who can apply for a place at our nursery?
Our wonderful nursery is organised into morning and afternoon sessions, 5 days a week catering for 3 and 4 year olds. Your child may start at our nursery in the term following their 3rd birthday and stay until they start the Reception year of school. Children of this age are automatically entitled to 15 hours per week childcare funded by the government. We offer these sessions as five morning sessions or 5 afternoon sessions and ask that children are registered with us for 5 days per week.. In addition, we offer a number of 30 hour per week fully funded places, for those eligible and these are subject to availability.

Currently, we offer 16 morning and 16 afternoon places. The nursery is open term time only. Term dates can be found in the Parents section of our school website.
