Our Little Hollies Nursery is a 26 place full-time pre-school Nursery which is part of our Early Years Unit located on the school site.  The Nursery is an educational play based, learning environment where children develop and learn through a programme of structured play activities and experiences.  Their progress is monitored and activities are carefully prepared to challenge and develop each child, with appropriately planned lessons and activities.

Session Time:  Sessions 9.00-15.00

The nursery hours will be 9am to 3pm across 5 days, with the option to purchase wrap around between 7.30am and 6pm at an additional cost. A hot lunch can be ordered at £2.90 a day, alternatively you can send your child in with a healthy packed lunch.

If you are eligible for the 30-hour working entitlement your child’s place will be funded. If you are not entitled to the 30-hour working entitlement you will be entitled to the universal entitlement of 15 hours and the additional 15 hours will be charged at the current rate of £5.66 per hour (Early Education Entitlement funding rate). Please see the Government website for more information www.beststartinlife.gov.uk/childcare-early-years-education

The new admission criteria is currently being finalised and will be available on the website shortly.

We hold Open Sessions and our aim is for you and your child to soak up the atmosphere, meet the staff and to look at our facilities and curriculum in action.  This, we believe, to be the first stepping stone in building a partnership with you and your child.
