Nursery Attendance

Attendance is expected during the Nursery teaching day (8.45 am and 3.25 pm). Places are offered on a full-time basis. However, on application we may consider part-time attendance, at three days a week in the first term, for settling in purposes. This will automatically increase to full-time in subsequent terms.

No allowance is made for Bank Holidays or INSET training days from pro-rata fees for any part-time children.

Free Early Years Education

All three and four year olds are eligible for 15 hours free childcare provision from the term after the child has turned 3.

Children of working families are eligible for 30 hrs of free childcare. To claim this the parent must apply to HMRC website and receive a valid code to provide in good time to enable the school to receive the funding. Parents must periodically renew the code via HMRC.


From April 2024 2-year-olds of working families are able to receive 15 hours of free childcare. Criteria apply and parent must apply to HMRC to receive the valid code.

Any discount is applied to balance of fees due after the free hours have been accounted for.

I am very pleased with the progress my child has made in the short time she has attended the nursery. She really enjoys attending the nursery and has a great relationship with the amazing staff.
