Our school nursery opened in July 2022. Being part of the Base 1 class gives children the chance to interact with a range of ages, which is beneficial to all and helps build confidence as well as providing opportunities for children to see and be inspired by the work of older children.  Phonics and early reading are introduced gently and there is a seamless transition into Reception.

We are open from 8.00 am – 3.20 pm each day during term time. Funded hours can be used for sessions within these times.

Fees are payable for all non-funded children or for children who exceed their free-funding allowance.

You will receive notification of the weekly fees due at the start of each term, these should be paid either weekly or half termly in advance.
