Have you heard about our new flexible nursery places?
Our morning sessions run from 9am until 12pm, afternoon sessions from 12pm until 3pm or full days from 9am until 3pm. Nursery children are also welcome to attend Wings, our before and after school club. This means we can offer childcare in school from 8am until 5.30pm. (Please note that Wings is charged for separately).
Snacks and drinks are provided throughout the sessions and any child that stays for the full day can opt to have a school meal for a small additional charge, or may prefer to bring in a packed lunch from home.
All children aged 3 upwards are entitled to 15 hours fully funded and additional sessions can be booked and paid for at a rate of £18 per session. Some children are entitled to 30 hours fully funded. If you prefer you can split your funded hours between our nursery and another registered Early Years provider – all we ask is that your child attends for a minimum of two days per week to provide consistency for them.
To find out what funding you are entitled to, please visit https://www.childcarechoices.gov.uk/
We have limited places available, and these will be offered on a first come first served basis. To apply for a place, or for further information, please contact Megan Fitzgerald at megan.fitzgerald@cps.derbyshire.sch.uk.
