Our Nursery is open to children aged two, three and four years and are eligible to start from the term after their second or third birthday. Applications for nursery places should be made directly to the school and forms are available on the website below or in the school office. Places will be offered in accordance with the nursery admission’s policy. Please note that the offer of a place in our nursery does not guarantee a place in our Reception class.
The nursery is led by qualified Early Years Educators. Each day runs from 8.30am to 3.00pm, with additional wrap around childcare available from age 3 through our Extended Schools Service.
Funding: There is 15 hours free early education funding available for 2 year olds and all 3 & 4 year olds, with 30 hours available for eligible working families.

- Option A – 30 hours of free nursery education for working parents who meet the eligibility criteria*
