At Priors Hall Nursery 30 hour funding is offered across our ten nursery sessions Monday – Friday. 15 hours can be used across five morning or five afternoon sessions. The funding is split across 38 weeks per year in line with the school term dates.

Our nursery is also aligned to the school day and we provide funded sessions during the times listed below for a maximum of two three hour sessions. There is a closure in between the daily sessions to accommodate a contractual break for keyworkers. You are able to book your child a place in our optional lunch club from 11:45 - 12:30 (subject to availability).

Nursery Sessions:

Mornings: 8.45am – 11.45 am

Afternoons: 12.30pm – 3.30pm

 

We do offer separate Wrap-Around Care which includes a Breakfast Club, Lunch Club and Teatime Club. More information on this can be found here: ‘wrap-around care’
