Sending your child to nursery

All children who are three and four years old are entitled to a 1140 free hours of nursery  in a local authority establishment. A place is either 5 days 9-3 or  8 -6 over 3 days.

A member of staff, will encourage your child to come into the playroom, show them where to hang their jacket etc and show them around the playroom, introducing them to the other children and the resources.

On the first day your child,  depending on how well they have settled can stay for their full session, though  some are collected after lunch. It all depends on you and what you would prefer.

All children are provided with a lunch, the menu is available online to view. if it’s something you know your child won’t eat, please provide them with a healthy pack lunch, the staff will always encourage your child to try the nursery lunch.

Your child will also need to come with a bag containing a FULL change of clothes, wipes, nappies if required, suncream, wellington boots and waterproof clothing for outdoor play, which your child can access everyday, no matter the weather. It’s very helpful if all clothing is named.

You are encouraged to register your child for a place in a local authority establishment when they reach their 2nd birthday.
