Nursery Admissions

We have a highly successful Nursery which admits children in either morning or afternoon or full time places.

Your options are:

Morning places - 08.30 to 11.30

Afternoon places - 12.30 to 15.30

Full day places - 08.30 to 15.30

15 hours per week are funded by the local authority, with further hours chargeable to parents at £5.50 per hour. Children staying all day are entitled to a free hot lunch.

Please note we do not currently offer the 30 hours provision.

We accept any and all childcare vouchers and encourage families paying for additional hours to use these.

You may find this calculator (click here) useful for working out what support you may be able to get with your childcare costs.
