Bewdley Primary School Pre-School & Nursery  

 

When can my child start at Pre-school?

We do have a limited number of spaces available for 2-3 year olds in our Nursery, which runs alongside our Pre-school.  

Do you offer funded places?

Yes, we offer both 15 hour and 30 hour funded places. 

Eligibility for 30 hour funded places must be confirmed by 31st August for a September start, 31st December for a January start, or 31st March for an April start.

If you are eligible for a 30 hour funded place, it is your responsibility to reconfirm your details every three months. 

How are places allocated?

If we have more children interested in places than we are able to provide sessions for, children will be admitted according to our admission policy.  Please ask for further details.

Can my child come just one day a week?

Your child can attend just one session per week but we recommend a minimum of 2 sessions per week to help children settle in better.

Do you have any wrap-around care?

Children can access the school wrap-around from the term after their third birthday. This is available from 7.30am until 5.30pm.  Please contact the main school office if you would like more information about booking and costs.

All children are eligible for up to 15 hours (5 sessions) a week or up to 30 hours (10 sessions) of nursery sessions from the term after they are 3.

A 3 hour session costs £13.80. 

For children aged 2, a 3 hour session costs £16.50.

How do I pay for my sessions?

Invoices for additional sessions will be sent out each half term. 

You are able to split your funded sessions between childcare providers. 

We ask for payment within 14 days of the invoice.

What happens at lunchtime?

A healthy snack will be provided every morning and afternoon.  We ask parents for a contribution of £2.50 per week/ 50p per day to cover this.

Children staying all day, or attending the afternoon session can either bring a packed lunch or book a school hot meal.  If your child is eligible for Free School Meals, then lunch will be provided free of charge.
