Nursery Admissions
Children are eligible to be admitted to our Nursery following their third birthday, when they are entilted to 15 hours free childcare. Places are avaliable from the September of that academic year.
Nursery operates morning only sessions 9:00 until 12:00pm.
Parents must complete the Parent Declaration Form three times per year in order to access their 15 hours free entitlement.
Nursery children must re-apply on-line for a Reception place for the following year. A place in our Nursery does not guarantee a Reception class place, but our Nursery is part of the main school in terms of the Governing Body, organisation and management, planning and budget control. The children in the Nursery are taught by a full-time teacher and highly qualified teaching assistants. A range of activities are provided in order that the children develop emotionally, intellectually, physically and socially.
The Nursery follows the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum covering the Foundation Stage of Learning. This curriculum is delivered indoors and out. Great emphasis is placed on developing close links between the Nursery and~the main school.
In addition, we also place great emphasis on developing close links between~home and nursery school such as having an open door policy, online journal (Tapestry), workshops and assemblies.
It is ideal that all nursery children are toilet trained before they start in September.
