Holiday playscheme at Church Hill Nursery School
All families with 3 to 4-year-olds at both schools can book:
- all the holidays at once
- one holiday at a time, at least 2 days each holiday.
Read more on our Playscheme page. This includes the fees.
We are working on opening a holiday playscheme for 2-year-olds.
When can my child start nursery?
We cannot take a child before they are 2.
Most children start in our schools in September.
Sometimes we have a 2-year-old space mid-year. We follow our admissions policy to fill these spaces.
