Joining our Nursery is the the start of your child’s educational journey with us. It is part of the Early Years Foundation Stage, a distinct stage of education that for children from the ages of 2 to 5.
Within our school the Early Years Key Stage comprises of three phases; FS1 – 2 Year Olds, FS1 – 3/4 Year Olds and FS2 – Reception.
From the term after their third birthday all children are entitled to a funded 15 hours nursery place. In our 3/4 year old provision, we have places for 52 children (26 am and 26 pm). This is to be taken as half days between the hours of 8.30am – 11.30am for a morning session and 12.30pm 3.30pm for an afternoon session.
Please be aware that there are limited places in each option and that whilst we will endeavour to meet all preferences, this cannot be guaranteed.
Children who are entitled to the 30 hours funding and staying for a full day will attend school between the hours of 9:00am and 15:00pm. Children in this setting can either bring in a packed lunch or receive a school dinner at the cost of £2.80 per day.
