Nursery Places
We provide Nursery places for 2, 3 and 4 year old children, from the term following their second birthday until they start school. Your child can start with us in the Rainbow Room whilst they are two years old and then move up to the Sunshine Room from the term after their third birthday at the earliest. They may not move rooms until the September after they turn three.
New children can start with us at the beginning of a new term ie; September, January or April. All places are subject to availability.

Some families are entitled to 30 Hours of Funded Nursery Education and Care. We currently provide these sessions are the following times:
- Monday – Thursday 8.50am – 3.05pm

You may choose to pay an additional charge to attend for the full day on Fridays.
Parents / carer’s are required to apply for the 30 Hour funding themselves and will need to provide us with their code and some other details to allow us to verify their eligibility. Without this we will not be able to claim the funding from the Local Authority and therefore will not be able to provide the sessions. We request these details in the application form.
You must regularly reconfirm your 30 Hour entitlement. If your child has a 30 Hour placement but your circumstances change and you are no longer be entitled, we will offer you a 15 Hour placement and you can choose to pay for the additional sessions. If your child has a 15 Hour place with us and you then become entitled to 30 Hours we will offer you a 30 Hour place if we have spaces available. We cannot guarantee any increase the confirmed hours provided.
