Welcome to Early Years Foundation Stage

Our Ducklings Class provision is for children aged 3–4 years. We are proud of the nurturing and enriching environment we provide, where children are supported to learn, explore and grow through a wide range of engaging experiences.

If you would like to register your child for a nursery place with us next year, please contact the school office for more information.

Funding Entitlement

Your child is entitled to join our Nursery class, within our Foundation Stage, at the start of the term after their third birthday.  We offer full-time places; either with 15 hours universal funding and payment for the additional hours, or full-time 30 hour entitlement places.  We do not require any fees paid before the children start, but would like to meet you and to give you and your child/ren chance to visit the setting.

 Please use the link below to find out if you are eligible for 30 hours:

Alternatively, any parents or carers not eligible are able to top up their child’s funded 15 hours through paying the school accordingly at a cost of £5.00 per hour. (Please note, the cost is due to increase from September 2024. Please contact the office for more derails).

Once your child has turned 4 years old, children are able to access Earlyworld which offers  wrap around care (breakfast and after-school care).  Please contact Earlyworld on 01865 881848 for further information.
