Admissions

We accept children into our Nursery after their third birthday.

The nursery is made up of two different sessions: morning and full time.

The timings for these sessions are as follows: 

Morning place (15hrs a week) - 8.50am – 11.50am 

Full Time place (30hrs a week) - 8.50am – 3.20pm

All three and four year olds are entitled to receive 15 hours free of charge.
A full time place requires either a 30hrs code or incurs a 'top up' fee.
The top-up fee is payable each half term.
You can see your eligibility for the 30 hours of free childcare here
