Nursery FAQs

What is the staff-to-child ratio?

We follow government guidelines with high staff-to-child ratios. Our small group sizes ensure each child receives personal attention and support.

Can I choose which days my child attends?

Nursery: There is no minimum number of sessions in the Nursery – you can choose any sessions that suit your family’s needs.

Pre-School: In the Pre-School, children attend a minimum of five sessions per week.

What do meals include?

Children receive a healthy mid-morning snack, mid-afternoon and a nutritious, hot lunch. Meals are prepared on-site and designed to encourage healthy eating habits.

Breakfast Club: From 07:30

Children in the pre-school are automatically guaranteed a place in Reception.

Can we access government funding?
