Our Nursery

We are pleased to offer places for 3 and 4 year olds within our school setting. This ensures that they are well equipped and prepared with the skills that they need ready for the Main School.

We welcome children as soon as they turn three years old into our Foundation 1 setting, and have places for 25 children.

Whilst we are a Catholic School, we welcome children from all religions and backgrounds.

We offer both full time places (30 hours) and morning only sessions (15 hours).

Morning sessions run from 8:40am until 11:45am

Full time sessions run from 8.40am until 3:15pm

These timings are in line with the Main School hours.

We also offer charged Wraparound Care as follows:

Breakfast Club 7:30am – 8:40am

After School Club: 3:15 – 5:30pm

Wrap Around Care is run by TB Sports. Please enquire at the school office for charges and further information.

Our full time places will be offered to children whose families are eligible.

In order to establish your eligibility please visit www.childcarechoices.gov.uk which will generate you with a code for your child if you are entitled.

Once you have received your code, please share this with the admin team in the school office, along with your National Insurance number.

Following that, the school will be able to verify the code, and we can then inform you of your child’s full time start date.

If you are not eligible but still would like your child to access the full time offer, there will be a charge for this.

Please contact the school office for further information.

Full time children are asked to bring a packed lunch or pay for a school meal and will be supervised by our midday staff.

They will have their lunch in the school hall, after which they will be supervised in the Key Stage 1 playground alongside the Reception children until afternoon session starts.

Nursery children wear full school uniform.

This can be sourced online at Kit Out Clothing and can be delivered to home or school.

Please speak to the admin team for more information.

In order to ensure that your child has a smooth transition, we offer a visit into school and a tour by our Foundation Stage staff. This will help them get to know your child and you and your child know a bit about us and our setting before they begin.

We would prefer that your child is toilet trained before they start with us, however we can support with this should they not be quite at that stage yet.

If your child has particular needs it is important that you let us know about this straight away. A plan between parents and school will then be completed at the home visit to ensure support is given.

If your child has any other special educational or developmental needs please ensure these are discussed during the visit to help us ensure that we meet your child’s needs right from the outset.

If you would like your child to progress from the Nursery to our Main School, you will still need to apply online through Nottingham City Council.

A place at our Nursery does not guarantee a place at our main school.

Please refer to the Admissions section of our website, which gives details of our school admissions policy.

If your child is a baptised Catholic they are given preference in the over subscription criteria. If your child is baptised into another Christian denomination or Other Faith they are also ranked higher than no baptism. Please refer to the Admissions Policy for more information.

If you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact our Head Teacher, Mrs Stevenson, a member of the School Office or Mrs Cannell our Foundation Stage Teacher.

Visits to the Nursery and Main School are always welcome, so please contact the school office to arrange this.

We look forward to welcoming your child to our Nursery setting!
