NEW FOR SEPTEMBER 2012

NURSERY AGED CHILDREN

- we are aware that many parents are choosing to keep their children with us rather than send them to nursery. We are therefore delighted to offer the following package for nursery aged children. We are limiting this offer to a small number of children who will receive this programme from a high adult to child ratio (approx. 1:5) team of experienced and highly qualified early years practitioners who will be focussing on the 3 prime areas of learning as identified in the new Early Years Foundation Stage that becomes statutory in September 2012. This is available to children from the September after their 3rd birthday and will run until the following September when they will move on to reception at one of the local schools. Ask for further details. Early booking is recommended to guarantee your child’s place.

12 - 3.30pm Monday to Friday 17.5 hours Free of charge for 38 weeks of year (Any additional morning hours will be charged at £3.60 per hour)
