Nursery Information

We have very limited afternoon places available if your child was born before 1st September 2021. 

Transition to Nursery begins in the summer term. We also are able to offer different intake times, if there is any availability after Christmas and Easter - your child could be eligible to start Nursery the term after they turn 3. If you would like to place your child's name on our list please telephone or call in to the school office.

Nursery Sessions

All 3 to 4-year-olds in England can get 15 hours of free early education or childcare per week for 38 weeks of the year.

There is an additional £2 daily payment for your child to stay after their entitled hours until 3.25pm if this is more convenient for yourself.

The cost for one extra session is £16.50 which includes a £2.00 3.25pm finish time. 

A full time place would be £82.50 a week. If your child attends full time, they will need to bring a packed lunch or they may have a school dinner at a cost of £2.30 per day £11.50 per week payable on a Monday.

We are flexible to when you want to book your sessions so that it fits in with your other commitments / childcare needs. For example, you may wish for your child to attend 3 mornings and 2 full days or 2 and half days a week etc. Once your days have been agreed, you will need to give 4 weeks’ notice in writing if you wish to change the days your child attends. Preferences will be given to those parents who require a full time place. We will also be able to offer Breakfast and After School Club Care if you require it.

We know that before your child starts in our Nursery, they will have had a wide range of different experiences. They will have learnt a great deal from their families and will have developed a variety of interests and skills.

At Radcliffe Primary, we aim to develop your child’s confidence and build upon what they have learnt from you. Working with you and your family ensures that your child enjoys a happy and educationally rewarding time at our Nursery.
