We encourage all new pupils and prospective parents to come and have a tour of our school. It is important that you pick the right school for your child.
Nursery Admissions
We offer both 15 and 30 hour provision
We accept children into our nursery from the term after they turn 3, as this is when they qualify for government funding. We can however accept them earlier if your child is elligible for working parent, 2 year old funding or you can choose to pay for them to come earlier if they don't qualify for Government funding.
An 'expression of interest form' needs completing and this is available from Mrs White in the school office or it can be downloaded using the link below.
Funding Information
All children are entitled to 15 hours of funding for a nursery place the term after they turn 3. In addition to this some parents may be eligible for funding for an additional 15 hours, to check eligibility use the link below. https://www.gov.uk/30-hours-free-childcare
If you do not qualify for additional funding but would like your child to attend more than 15 hours you are able to pay for additional sessions (subject to availability), just ask at the school office or see the Charging polic above. We are also registered to accept payments from the government ‘Childcare Choices’ tax-free childcare scheme (for working parents) and The Childcare Grant Payment Service (for students). More information on each of these can be found using the following links.

Children can use their 15 hour funding to attend for five mornings or two and half days per week. 30 hour funding covers the children attending full time.
The only additional charge is if you wish your child to have a hot meal at lunch time. This costs £3.25 and is paid via an online system called Parentpay.
