30 Hours Nursery Provision

St Gregory’s is delighted to let parents know that, in addition to the current 15 hours per week universal nursery provision, we are offering 30 hours’ care provision. 

Children can start Nursery the term after their 3rd Birthday.

There will be formal intakes three times per year, subject to places being available - September / January / April.

The Nursery sessions are as follows:

Parents who are NOT eligible for childcare vouchers, will have the option to pay for the additional 15 hours per week (afternoon session). The costs are listed below:

Lunch

Parents whose children are booked for whole day sessions, will need to provide their child with a packed lunch and water bottle daily.

Breakfast Club provision for Nursery Children

Breakfast club provision (from 7.40 am) will be available for nursery children (£5 per child, per session). Further details to follow.
