Nursery Offer – September 2026
If your child is only eligible for 15 hours, there are two options:
- Attend every morning (8:45am -11:45am) or every afternoon (12.15pm-3.15pm) (no charge).
- Attend your daily funded morning or afternoon sessions, plus additional sessions to top up to a full school day (8:45am – 3:15pm) at a cost of £21.29 per day (extra sessions must be agreed in advance and will be reviewed half termly)
If your child is eligible for 30 hours, there are three options as our Nursery offers 32.5 hours of
provision per week (8:45 am – 3:15pm daily):
• Attend full-time (incurs a daily charge of £3.50 to cover the additional 2.5 hours).
• Be collected at 12.45 (after lunch) on one afternoon – a Monday, Tuesday or Friday (no charge).
• Go home for the 30-minute lunch period every day from 11:45 – 12:15 (no charge).
Wrap Around
If your child is not eligible for the additional 15 hours funding and you would like them to stay for an extra morning or afternoon session, you may book these if places are available for a charge of £21.29 per session (this includes a £3.50 lunchtime supervision fee).
