Nursery information and Application forms.

Our EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) Unit consists of Nursery and Reception aged children. It is staffed by Mrs J Blaylock and Mrs J Grimshaw, who are qualified Teachers and Mrs G Davison, Mrs D Little and Mrs J Liddle who are qualified Teaching Assistants. 

We accept children into our setting from the beginning of the week after they turn 3. We do offer the up to 30 hours per week free childcare for working parents (subject to parents’ eligibility). If you do not qualify for 30 hours, you will still have 15 hours statutory free entitlement but this will only start from the beginning of the term after they turn 3. It is your responsibility to apply for this and to give us your child’s free entitlement code as soon as you can. If you miss the deadline you will have to pay for the hours.

Our opening hours are 8.45-3.30pm. We do have breakfast and after school clubs which run from 8am and finish at 5.45pm (5pm on a Friday) and you can use your child's hours entitlement for this.
