The school has its own Nursery and we admit children to our Nursery in the term after they turn 3.

We offer the free 15 hours funding for three and four year olds as five x3 hour sessions per week, taken either as:

• Daily mornings (8.45 – 11.45am)
• Daily afternoons (12.15 – 3.15pm)

A limited number of full day (30 hours a week) spaces are available, which will incur an additional cost for the lunchtime period, which must be paid privately by parents as it is not part of the 30-hour place. Or parents can opt to take their child home over the lunch period (11:45-12:15pm).

The cost of a Lunch club place is £3 for the childcare. An additional charge of £2.65 is made for a hot school dinner, if this is required. 

If your child is accessing a 30 hour place, which is being funded by parents, then you will need to pay for Lunch Club at £3 and the additional Nursery session at £18.00.

Please note that no refunds will be given for sickness or holidays.   

Lunches need to be paid in advance or by 9.30am on the day and additional sessions should be paid monthly in advance via Arbor or via Childcare Vouchers. 

Please note that charges are reviewed on an annual basis.
