Nursery Session Times

Morning Session 8.45-11.45

Afternoon Session 12.30-3.30

Full day Session 8.45-3.30

Lunchtime 11.45-12.30

All 3 and 4 year olds in England (and at our school, children turning 3 in that term) are entitled to 15 hours of free early education or childcare a week.

Options for your 15 hours of nursery child care:

Option 1: 5 mornings a week 8.45-11.45 am

Option 2: 5 afternoons a week 12.30-3.30 pm

Option 3: Mix and match mornings and afternoons, for example 3 mornings, 2 afternoons

Option 4: Extending a morning or afternoon session with lunchtime childcare (11.45am – 12.30pm). If your child attends nursery in a morning they can stay for lunch and then go home at 12.30pm. The cost for this would be £2.00 and your child could bring a packed lunch from home or pay a further £2.30 to buy a school dinner. This option is also available for children to arrive at 11.45am and have dinner at nursery before the afternoon session.

Option 5: 2½ Full days. Use 1 or 2 full days and the rest of the 15 hours as half days e.g. All day Monday, Tuesday morning, Wednesday morning, Thursday afternoon; or all day Wednesday and Thursday and then Friday morning. The full day sessions will be from 8.45am-3.30pm (6 hours, 45 minutes,so the maximum would be 2 full days and then a half day). Full day sessions include lunch provision.

Option 6: Extending any nurserysessions with breakfast childcare. If your child wanted to attend earlier than 8.45am, they would have to pay to attend the breakfast club any time between 7.45-8.45am. (Costs £3 7.45-8.15 or £2 8.15-8.45) Or extending the full day care with after school club, available until 5.30 pm. (Costs £4 3.30-4.30 or £8 3.30-5.30)

From September 2017 parents are also able to check their eligibity for a 30 hour place. To check eligibility parents can visit:

www.childcarechoices.gov.uk. If the parents are eligible for a 30 hour place for their child, they will be given an 11-digit code which they need to bring to nursery.

The 30 hour childcare at our setting is completely FREE. The children can attend for 4 full days and one half day and bring a packed lunch to nursery each day for NO CHARGE. Alternatively parents can pay for a school meal £2.30 per day and they can pay to top up to 5 full days for £10 for the extra session, plus £2 for lunchtime cover if needed.

Next steps in nursery

Over the new couple of weeks we are inviting all of our parents/carers into nursery (either when they bring their child to nursery or when they come to collect their child at the end of nursery) to come into nursery and look through their child’s learning journey with the child.

The new children have settled into Ryelands Nursery very well. We have all enjoyed meeting our new friends and building bonds with the adults. Each child has now selected which adult they want to be their key person- who they go to for comfort, who they choose to play with them, who they want to sha…

Baby chicks in Nursery

Look at our gorgeous baby chicks, which have now hatched out of the eggs. It was a long 21 days waiting for the baby chicks to grow, inside the eggs, in the incubator. We are very lucky to be able to stroke them and look after them in nursery now.

Butterflies

The nursery children have loved learning about the life cycle of butterflies. We read the story ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar.’ Then we watched our own baby caterpillars eat all the food and grow bigger and fatter. We watched in amazement as the caterpillars turned into cocoons. We were very excited…
