The Nursery is open to all children from the term following their 3rd birthday. Everyone is entitled to 15 hours of free nursery time, which is 08.30 to 11.30 every morning. If you would like your child to stay longer, afternoon sessions are available for an additional cost. There are 30 hours funded places available, subject to eligibility. Please ask for more information if you are interested.
 
As an extra service children may stay on for lunch (at £2.25 per day) and be collected at the later time of 12.45pm. 
Children are asked to wear uniform- this is a red jumper or cardigan (red school jumpers or sweatshirts can be bought from the school office).

Your child is important to us and we know it’s important for you to know your child is happy and safe, so come and visit us anytime and we will all be happy to answer any of your questions.

The Nursery and Reception team are working with the children on learning phonics using the Letters and Sounds system.

To help your child, you can follow the link below to reinforce their learning. Parents of children in Nursery should focus on the Phase 1 activities.    http://www.letters-and-sounds.com

Please also have a look at the Jolly Phonics jingles (below, from YouTube) to help your child remember how to make the pure sound of each letter.
