- A daily healthy snack (£10 per term voluntary contribution)
- Excellent transition for when your child moves into primary education

- On site specialist staff: Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCo), Pupil & Family Support Worker, Safeguarding Leads, Learning Mentor
- Excellent links with Health Care professionals
- Good Ofsted rating

*We can offer 30 hours free nursery provision for eligible 3 and 4 year olds. To find out if you are eligible please visit:
www.gov.uk/apply-30-hours-free-childcare
If you qualify for the 30 hours funding, parents/guardians must re-apply every three months. If you do not reapply or your circumstances change then it may mean that you are no longer entitled to these additional hours (but your child will continue to be eligible for the universal 15 hours)
Children who qualify for 30 hours funding, and are therefore in school all day, can purchase a hot school meal for just £2.40 per day, or you are welcome to provide a healthy packed lunch.
Please note that if you have a child in the nursery it does not mean that older siblings will be offered a place in the school.
Please also note that a place in the nursery does not guarantee a place in the main school. An application will need to be made to join the main school.
We only offer term time provision and are closed during school holidays.
Please take a look at the photographs below where you will see some examples to illustrate the type of learning and playing your child will be doing each day, for example the construction area and blocks, creative area, home corner, mark making area, maths area, reading corner and sand play.
