Nursery Hours

We offer either 15 hours or 30 hours (for those who are eligible).

To see if you are eligible for 15 or 30 hours visit the government website here. 

Our official start date is from the September after your child turns 3.  However, if we have space we can start children from the term after their third birthday.  Just check with us if we have spaces.

15 hour pupils

The sessions are three hours per day, 5 days per week.  Please indicate which you would prefer when you apply.  We cannot guarantee that you will get your preference but we will try to accommodate preferences if possible.  We understand that some families may want to compress their 15 hours  - we will always try to accommodate when we can.

The morning session is 8.45am-11.45am

The afternoon session is 12.15pm-3.15pm

If  you are not eligible for more than 15 hours you may have the option to purchase additional sessions if you wish.  Please come and chat to the office or the nursery team if this is what you'd like to do.

30 hour pupils

The full nursery day is from 8.45am - 3.15pm to coincide with the school day making 32.5 hours per week.

 We do charge £3 per day to cover the additional time the children are with us.  If you'd like to pick your child up early so as not to incur the charge please have a chat with the Nursery or Office Teams.

Please see here for a brief explainer of charges

Children are welcome to opt for a (paid for) school dinner via ISS Catering or to bring in a healthy packed lunch.
