Working Together to Inspire and Achieve is our motto and we believe that it sums up our school perfectly.
We aim to help our children be the best they can be, to achieve their best academically and also to mature into the best people they can be. Children have just one childhood, we believe their primary education should be magical, filled with inspirational and unforgettable experiences and should set them on the road to life-long success. Our Nursery is the perfect place for your child to begin their educational journey.
Our School- based Nursery offers:
A safe, happy, nurturing environment
Play based learning that builds confidence
Exciting indoor and outdoor learning spaces
A strong focus on creativity and language development
A smooth transition into Reception
Dedicated, experienced staff
Universal and Extended Entitlement for 3- and 4-year-olds
We offer funded early education for eligible 3 and 4 year olds in line with current government entitlement arrangements. This is offered during term time only and operates for 38 weeks per academic year, in line with the school calendar.
Universal Entitlement – 15 Hours: All eligible 3 and 4 year olds are entitled to 15 hours of funded early education per week during term time.
Extended Entitlement – 30 Hours: Eligible working parents may apply for an additional 15 funded hours, bringing the total to 30 hours per week during term time.
Extended places: We are pleased to offer these: subject to availability within the overall nursery capacity
Parents are required to have a valid eligibility code issued by HMRC. This must be reconfirmed by parents each term in line with national requirements.
Yes! Additional nursery provision for those with a 15 hour entitlement is available through the purchase of additional nursery sessions. Additional paid provision is only offered in fixed three-hour session blocks at a cost of £19.80. Additional sessions must align with the nursery’s published session times and cannot be split or reduced. Requests for additional paid sessions must be agreed in advance and are normally booked for a full term. Once agreed, the session pattern will remain in place for the duration of that term unless otherwise agreed by the setting.
We would love to welcome your child to our Nursery from the term after their third birthday.

Parents must apply directly to the school for a nursery place by completing the school’s application form, which is available on the school website and from the school office.
We are happy to provide support to parents who require assistance in completing the application form, including support for families with limited literacy, English as an additional language, or accessibility needs.
Application forms can be provided in alternative formats on request. Please let the school office know if you require any help or clarification.
All applications received by the closing date will be considered together and places will be allocated in accordance with the published oversubscription criteria and the school’s published nursery capacity.
Requests for universal (15 hour) and extended (30 hour) places will be considered within the same allocation process. Extended places are subject to eligibility and availability within the overall nursery capacity. Where an extended place is requested, parents must provide a valid eligibility code by the published deadline.
