Nursery Sessions

Children usually start nursery in the term after their third birthday and are then entitled to 15 hours of free education per week. We do not charge top-up fees.

Most children attend for 2½ days a week in one of the following classes:

 

Green Rockets:  Monday 8.55am – 2.55pm, Tuesday 8.55am – 2.55pm, Wednesday 8.55am – 11.55am

Blue Rockets:     Wednesday 12.30pm – 3.30pm, Thursday 8.55am – 2.55pm, Friday 8.55am –2.55pm

 30-hour places

We accept some children for government-funded 30-hour places under the Working Parent Eligibility Scheme (We can also accept privately funded children).

This group (Yellow Rockets) runs on Monday - Friday 9.05am - 3.05pm. To find out if you are eligible, please click here for the government website, and let us know if you are eligible when applying for a nursery place. 

 2-year-old group  

We also offer places to children in the term after their second birthday. As this is only a small group,(Little Stars) places are limited.  These places are either fee-paying or are funded through the Two-year-old funding scheme or the Working Parents Eligibility scheme.  Please click here for more information about funding.

Some 15-hour spaces are available.  (Mon & Tue 9am - 3pm, Wed 9am - 12pm)
