Welcome to Nursery

🕒 Our Opening Hours & Funding

We offer both 15-hour and 30-hour funded places. Our standard funded sessions run during the following times:

  • Morning Session: 08:30 – 11:30

  • Afternoon Session: 12:30 – 15:30

🍽️ Lunch Provision

Because our full school day runs from 08:30 to 15:30, we bridge the gap between sessions with our dedicated Lunch Provision hour from 11:30 – 12:30. This ensures continuous care and social development during mealtimes.

  • Please note: Funding only covers core session hours. Lunch provision is not included in either the 15-hour or 30-hour funding and is a payable extra for any full days your child attends.

  • Lunch provision is available at the low cost of £5.50 per day.

Choose Your Attendance Option

Option A: 30-Hour Places (Full-Time)

  • Days: Monday to Friday (Every day of the week)

  • Times: 08:30 – 15:30

  • How it works: This option uses your 30 funded hours to cover all morning and afternoon sessions across the week.

  • Lunch cost: Because your child attends full-time, there are 5 days of lunch provision to fund (£5.50 per day).

  • ⚠️ Important: You must remember to renew your 30-hour code each term to maintain your funded place.

Option B: 15-Hour Places (Part-Time)

If you choose a 15-hour place, you can choose one of two fixed options:
