Nursery Opening Times Fees and Funding
Nursery Sessions, Times & Costs
We are proud to offer a welcoming and nurturing nursery environment for children from the age of three. Our nursery is open during term time only and provides a structured, supportive start to your child’s school journey.
We offer two session options, depending on your child’s funding entitlement: a morning-only place for children accessing 15 funded hours, or a full-day place for those eligible for 30 funded hours. For families using the 30-hour funding, there is also the option to extend the day slightly to align with the full school day.
For full day sessions, children will need to bring a packed lunch from home; however, there is also the option to purchase a hot school meal at a cost of £2.42, supplied by Educaterers catering.

Funding Information
We understand how important funded childcare is for families, and we aim to make the process as straightforward as possible.
Children are eligible for nursery funding from the term following their 3rd birthday. We offer:
- 15 hours funded provision (morning sessions)
- 30 hours funded provision (full-day sessions, subject to eligibility)
To ensure your child’s place is funded correctly, it is very important that:
- All funding forms are completed accurately and returned on time at the beginning of each term
- Parents accessing 30 hours funding provide a valid eligibility code and keep this up to date
- Additional charge for childcare for the extended full day will be charged at £4 per day (£20 per week)
If forms are not submitted on time, we may be unable to claim funding, and charges may apply.
If you are unsure about your eligibility or need any help with the forms, please don’t hesitate to speak to a member of our team—we are always happy to help.
