Nursery Provision – Welcoming 3 and 4-Year-Olds
In September 2023, we proudly opened our school nursery, offering a welcoming and nurturing Early Years setting for 3 and 4-year-olds during school term times.
We accept both 15-hour and 30-hour government-funded childcare entitlements:
- 15 hours of free childcare is available to all families in England from the term after your child turns 3.
- 30 hours of free childcare is available for eligible working families in England with children aged 9 months to 4 years. You must apply for a code by the end of the month before a new term starts. We would then be able to accept your child as soon as they turn 3.
You can check your eligibility for government funding at: https://www.beststartinlife.gov.uk
Session Options
Our flexible session times allow families to choose from:
- Morning sessions: 9:00am – 12:00pm
- Afternoon sessions: 12:00pm – 3:00pm
- Full day sessions: 9:00am – 3:00pm
We also offer extended sessions for an additional charge:
- Early drop-off: From 8:40am
- Late pick-up: Until 3:15pm
Additional hours outside of funded entitlement can be booked separately.
Please note: Any charges beyond the government-funded entitlement are entirely optional and not a condition of accessing a funded nursery place.
