A consistent pattern of attendance is required.

For the 15-hour funding, does my child have to attend in the morning or afternoon? 

Ideally, we would like 15-hour funded children to attend either in the morning or afternoon. However, we can be flexible with the sessions you require, depending on the number of applications and requirements that we receive. Please make your preferred pattern of attendance clear when you submit your initial interest enquiry. 

When can I make an application for my child?

If you would like your child to attend our nursery, you must complete an initial interest form as soon as possible. These can be found via the Admissions pages of the website. Places are not allocated, however, on the basis of when the initial interest form is submitted. All applications are considered using the Bucks Guidance. 

Children are eligible to start nursery a term after their third birthday. We have three intakes a year; September, January and April.

Can you explain more about your 30-hour funded provision?

Our 30-hour funded provision runs from 8:30am - 2:30pm. Check your eligibility here.

All children attending for 30 hours must bring a packed lunch to school.
If you require your child to stay until the end of the day (3:30pm), this additional hour (2:30pm - 3@30pm) is charged at £6 per hour. 

Do you offer wrap-around care?

Unfortunately, we do not offer wrap-around care. We would be happy to signpost you to additional local providers on request.
