Applying for a Nursery Place

We are now offering funded hours for eligible children aged 2, 3 and 4.

Nursery Sessions - Funding
Our nursery offers two daily sessions:
-
Morning session: 8:45am – 11:45am
-
Afternoon session: 12:15pm – 3:15pm
Children eligible for 30 hours funding will attend both sessions. This extends the funded entitlement by 30 minutes per day. The lunchtime period (11:45am – 12:15pm) is therefore charged at £4.25 per day, which is charged via invoice.
If further childcare is needed outside of the 8:45am - 3:15pm window, please click here to view our Wraparound care options.
Nursery Sessions - Meals
If your child is with us during the lunchtime period, you may choose one of the following options:
-
School dinner: £2.30 per day, payable via ParentPay
-
Packed lunch: Must be provided from home and must not contain nuts, as we are a nut-free school
Nursery Sessions - Paying Privately
If you would like to top up your child's funded hours to better suit your routine, or if you are not eligible for funding and would like to pay privately for a place at our nursery, we welcome you to speak to our team.
For families paying privately for nursery hours, fees are £8.50 per hour. Private sessions must be booked at least four weeks in advance with the Nursery Manager to allow invoices to be issued. Payment is taken in advance.
