The nursery is open from Monday to Friday (excluding bank holidays) between the hours of 7:30am – 6pm. We also close in between Christmas and New Year. There is no charge for the days when we are closed over Christmas and these days are deducted off the invoice. Bank holidays are still charged although the nursery is closed. We regret that care can not be provided outside of these hours, and parents should make other arrangements if they find themselves unable to collect their child by 6pm. The nursery should be informed by the parents of any such changes and should ask for a password if someone else will be collecting the child.
Obviously, the timetable of the nursery varies with the needs of each age group, but the following is a basic guide:
7:30 (onwards: Children are welcomed into all departments.
8:30: Breakfast for Caterpillars, Butterflies, Bumble bees, Lady birds, Fireflies and Dragonflies.
9:30: Structured activities and self chosen activities.
11:15: Lunch is served for the Caterpillars, Butterflies and Bumble bees. This is followed by naps or quiet free play.
11:30: Lunch is served for the Ladybirds and Dragonflies.

3:15: Tea is served for the Caterpillars, Butterflies and Bumble bees.
