We offer funded spaces for 2-year-olds (15 hours per week through PCC funding) and for 3- and 4-year-olds, we offer both universal 15-hour places and 30-hour full-time places for eligible families.

The nursery will keep a waiting list which will be used to fill casual vacancies occurring as a result of an enrolled child leaving during the academic year or withdrawing from a place that has been offered.
