Fees are inclusive of a mid-morning piece of fruit (and lunch for those who are attending the Lunch session).
Please note that the free Government entitlement will cover Nursery attendance for up to five mornings, 8.30am – 11.30am. All children should complete a minimum of five mornings. We strongly recommend that children who are only doing mornings in the first instance increase their hours in The Squirrels Nursery in subsequent terms to prepare for moving into Reception. This would usually be from the Spring Term and by adding at least the additional Lunch session and attending 8.30am – 12.45pm. The maximum attendance is five full days (8.30am – 3.30pm). Please note that late pick-ups will be charged.
Beyond the mandatory five mornings
You may opt for a pattern of attendance that includes a variety of sessions. To benefit fully from the education we provide, the majority of children in The Squirrels Nursery attend most sessions and many attend all sessions during the week.
Free supervision in The Squirrels Nursery is available every day from 7.45am – 8.30am.
