Nursery Admissions

Admissions to Nursery

We offer morning and afternoon sessions for our nursery children, each session is 3 hours.  We are now also offering 30 hours of nursery provision for eligible families, places may be limited.

Some parents will be entitled to 30 hours of free childcare a week. To check if you are eligible for 30 hours of free childcare, please refer to the document at the following link:

The checking system for 30 hours free childcare is available by following this link: https://childcare-support.tax.service.gov.uk/par/app/applynow.

Once you have completed this check you will need to complete this form and return it to the school. If you are not eligible for 30 hours, you will still be entitled to the universal 15 hours of free childcare currently offered by the government and have the option to pay for the additional hours if you wish. Please note all nursery spaces are subject to availability.
