On this page you will find key information about your child’s class. If you look at the class timetable, you will see the wonderful topics your child is learning. We understand how important parents are in fostering a positive attitude to learning, so we have attached a few documents that can help parents and carers engage with our curriculum at home. You will find a plan of all the topics your child will learn this year. There are also links to a few different websites that can help to support learning at home. Please do not hesitate to get into contact with the class teacher, through Class Dojo, if you require any further information.
Our nursery is newly refurbished, providing a clean, bright and airy environment for your child. Our staff are highly qualified and have a wealth of experience in early years; we will ensure that your child feels safe and secure in our care. We offer a wide range of opportunities to allow children to develop their knowledge and skills, ensuring that they have the best start to their education.
We offer both 15 hour and 30 hour places for two and three year old children. Extra hours can be purchased if children are not entitled to 30 hours childcare for free (please see the table below for pricing details). Please call the school office or the nursery to discuss the availability of free places. We can support families in applying for 15 hour two year old places and 30 hour three year old places. All three year old children are entitled to 15 hours free childcare.
Here is the link to the Government site to apply for a working parent code which could give you 30 hours of free childcare.
