Welcome to the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), which is how the Government and Early Years professionals describe the time in your child's life between birth and age 5.

All 3 and 4 year olds are entitled to 15 hours per week free early education from the September following their third birthday.

At Gade Valley, our Nursery is led by an experienced, qualified teacher and as such, we pride ourselves on delivering a high quality education experience that helps to prepare children for school life.

We currently provide flexible Nursery sessions 5 days per week during term times.  15 hours funding can be used over 5 mornings or 2.5 days (2 full days and 1 morning session).   In addition, we are pleased to offer 30 hour funded and non-funded places during term times.

 

Nursery Session Times

  • Morning Nursery 8.45 – 11.45 am

  • Pupils in receipt of 30 hours funding 8.45 am - 3:15 pm

 

Please ensure you drop off and collect your child on time from the Nursery Classroom.

We have one intake per year beginning in September, with 30 places available.  We would love to show you around, please call or e-mail the school office to make an appointment.

If you have any questions about our Nursery facilities or the application process, please visit the admissions page, or call or e-mail the school office.
