Forest School Nursery
We are very proud of our nursery school provision, providing places from the age of 2 onwards. The nursery children spend a lot of time outdoors in our beautiful grounds, learning through explorative play. The period from birth to age 5 is known as the foundation stage and we adhere to the foundation stage curriculum which incorporates seven areas of learning and development:
- Personal, social and emotional development
- Communication and language
- Physical development
- Literacy
- Maths
- Understanding of the world
- Expressive arts and design
Your child will be assigned a key worker who will monitor and support your child with both their physical and emotional needs. They will also be your point of contact within the nursery.
The nursery session times are 8.30 – 11.30 and 12.15 – 3.15. If your child will be attending all day, they will also be present for the lunchtime session, which runs from 11.30 – 12.15. You are also able to book your child into our wraparound care, once they turn 3yrs old.
The cost of nursery will be dependent on any funding you are eligible for. Both the morning and afternoon sessions cost £22.50 each and the lunchtime session costs £6 per day. Please note that Lunch sessions do not include hot lunches. Please provide either a packed lunch OR order your hot lunch from Black Pepper Lunches Home
Nursery Funding
There are three types of funding, which can apply for through the Herefordshire council website on the link below.
Nursery fees are invoiced towards the end of the current month, less any funding you are entitled to.
Please see our prospectus for more information and please feel free to contact the school office with any queries, or to arrange a visit. We are also happy to offer a limited number of complimentary ‘settling in’ sessions for your child.
