We believe that the Nursery year is an important stepping stone before entering into school life. We aim to foster a love of learning, enquiry and questioning through a rich and varied curriculum.

Our nursery runs across two rooms: Bumblebees and Ladybirds.

All children are eligible for fifteen hours of funded early education per week (Universal Entitlement). Parents select a combination of five three-hour sessions across the week to make up the fifteen hours. Please note that for admission from September 2022 we will only be accepting children into nursery for a minimum of 12 hours / four sessions per week. 

Morning sessions are from 8.55am until 11.55am.

A whole day (counts as two sessions) runs from 8.55am until 2.55pm.

Children attending for a whole day are required to either bring a healthy packed lunch, or can order and pay for a hot school meal, which they eat at around 12pm in the Nursery.

Children who are eligible for 30 hours per week of funded early education can attend our nursery all week (Extended Entitlement). It is possible to share the 30 hours with another setting and attend our nursery for part of the week.

Information about eligibility for 30 hours' funding can be found at www.childcarechoices.gov.uk and at www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk
