NURSERY
We currently offer parents 4 choices for their child's 15 free hours when starting nursery:
Morning sessions
Afternoon sessions
2.5 days (Monday all day, Tuesday all day and Wednesday morning)
2.5 days (Wednesday afternoon, Thursday all day and Friday all day)
We also now offer the 30 hours free childcare for those parents who are working. For more information please visit the TAX-FREE CHILDCARE page of the Government website, or pop into school and we can explain it all to you.
Parents can choose to supplement these hours by purchasing half day sessions at an extra £10. Therefore if you wanted 'full time' nursery provision for your child it would cost £50 per week. Lunch is included in all sessions (half days and full days) as well as milk or water and snack.
If you would like any more information please call school.
