Places and Sessions
We are delighted you are considering a Little Explorers Nursery (age 2-3) or Preschool (age 3-4) place for your child.
Our Little Explorers Nursery caters for 2, 3 and 4 year olds and we have three admissions points throughout the year- September, January and April. Children can join our Nursery at an entry point, in which they turn 2 years old. The children then progress to our Preschool in the term after they turn 3.
In Little Explorers, for those claiming 15 hours, you will be allocated either a morning or afternoon session. The sessions run Monday-Friday, either every morning 8:45am-11:45pm, or every afternoon 12:30pm-3:30pm. For those claiming 30 hours the sessions run daily from 8:45am – 3:30pm
In our Nursery (age2-3) we can take children with a valid 15 or 30 hours childcare code. In Preschool (age 3-4) the children have a universal entitlement to 15 hours of childcare but require a valid code to access 30 hours.
