Our Nursery Provision

Welcome to Eastfield Nursery, a 52 place nursery setting for 3 and 4 year olds. We are extremely proud that our Nursery provision was graded ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted (2016) 


Session Times & Fees

All 3 and 4 year old children are entitled to 15 hours government funding and some parents who meet particular criteria may also be entitled to 30 hours government funding (further information about 15/30 hour funding can be found at https://www.childcarechoices.gov.uk/)

30 Hour Places:

Session times are 8:45am to 3.15pm, Monday to Friday.

15 Hour Places:

Mornings: Monday to Friday 8:45am – 11:45pm

Afternoons: Monday to Friday 12:15am - 3:15pm

2.5 days at the start of the week: Monday & Tuesday 8:45am – 3.15pm, Wednesday 8:45am – 11:45pm

For 15 hour parents who wish to pay for additional sessions, these are charged at £5.50 per hour;

· any additional sessions are discussed & agreed with the Early Years Lead.

· any additional sessions are agreed on a termly basis to ensure that staffing & groupings can accommodate the additional sessions

· all additional sessions must be paid for in full, in advance, on a half termly basis to prevent parents accruing any debt. All agreed sessions will be added as a booking on MCAS before the start of the half term in which provision will be taken. If a child joins our Nursery provision during a half term and additional hours are requested and can be provided, the agreed sessions will be added to MCAS prior to the sessions starting.

· additional sessions cannot be provided if they have not been paid for in advance, to prevent parents accruing any debt

· any missed agreed additional sessions must be paid for, refunds will not be provided if children miss additional sessions due to illness, holidays etc. as staffing levels are agreed on a termly basis

· additional sessions are paid for via the parent app, MCAS (MyChildAtSchool)
