Parents who wish their child to attend our Nursery are asked to complete an application form. These can be completed once their child is two years old, whereupon their child's name will go on the waiting list. All children are entitled to 15 hours free care per week. We also offer spaces to children who are entitled to 30 hours free nursery care per week. If you think your child is eligible, please contact the school office. Nursery sessions are offered as follows:

• All day Monday & Tuesday plus Wednesday morning or
• Wednesday afternoon plus all day Thursday & Friday

An optional school lunch is available for those children who attend any full days and must be paid for in advance at the chargeable rate. Lunches currently cost £2.80 per day (payable in advance).  All other children who attend Nursery for a full day are required to bring a packed lunch.

There is an option to drop your child off at 8.45am on the days they are in all day which is charged at £3.00 each day.

Top up sessions are available subject to availability and currently charged at a rate of £20.50 each morning or afternoon additional session. 

Selection to our Nursery will be based on criteria in St Mary's Nursery Admission Policy. There is one intake in September for children who are three years old by 31 August of that year. Offers of Nursery places will be sent out by the end of May.  Further intakes may be offered in January and April if spaces available.

Each child offered a place  will then be invited for one or more visits to the Nursery. Children are usually expected to be full-time straight away.

Nursery children wear a school polo shirt, school sweatshirt or cardigan and black tracksuit bottoms.
