Early education for 3 and 4 year olds
We offer places to children from the beginning of the school term after they are three. If children are eligible for funding, we can offer places to two-year-olds.
Nursery sessions are from 8:30-11:15 in the morning and from 12:30-3.15 in the afternoon. Extended care is available for a small charge, provided there are sufficient staff on duty to care for the children.

“The leadership and management of the early years are outstanding. The early years leader has set up highly effective systems to assess and record children’s achievements. Staff work together extremely well to provide children with stimulating experiences that fire their imaginations.” Ofsted March 2015
