Application

We currently accept 2, 3 and 4 years olds into our Nursery. If you are interested in your child attending our Nursery then we would love to show you around, and answer any questions you may have. You can book an appointment, and pick up an application pack from the school office.

Session Times

The Nursery is open Monday to Friday during term time. Term time dates are on the Hampshire County Council Education website.

We aim to be as flexible as we can, so we have multiple pick up and drop off times as shown below. If your child is aged 3 years and over, they are able to attend from 7.30am until 6pm which can be included in their funded hours. Children who are 2 years old can attend between 8.30am and 3.30pm. 

If your child will be with us between 12:00 and 12:30pm they will need a packed lunch, or you can pay for and order them a hot school meal. This order needs to be made and paid for by 9am as the food is freshly made to order by the school kitchen. Please see the school lunches page for more information, including information about provision for children with food allergies.
