Session Times
​
Meadow Nursery School is a traditional, term time only preschool. Our primary focus is on the child, their emotional well-being and providing them a safe, stimulating and fun nursery environment. From September 2024, Meadow Nursery School will be offering 6 full day spaces* for our 3 and 4 year olds (8:45am-3:30pm). The full day spaces can be accessed with a 30-hour code or by families where the 15 hours’ childcare is not sufficient and therefore added on for an additional sessional cost.
​
For families entitled to 15 hours’ nursery education, our daily offering will remain the same. Children can attend one 3-hour session per day, over 5 days*. You do not have to attend all 5 sessions. Flexibility will continue, so you can pick the number of sessions to reflect your child’s needs, with a minimum of 2 sessions per week.
​
On special occasions the nursery may organise trips or parties for the children. On these days hours may be adjusted and parental involvement required e.g farm trip, panto trip or end of term party. Notice will be given prior to the event and we apologise for any inconvenience this causes; however, it is always done to enhance the children’s experiences.
In exceptional circumstances there may be an event that triggers the closure of Meadow Nursery School, for example transport strikes, severe adverse weather conditions, personal health or acts of terrorism. In such or similar circumstances, Meadow Nursery School will not be held responsible, nor will we issue refunds for such forced closures.
Meadow Nursery School will be closed for bank holidays and inset training days during the academic year.

Please note - As the end of the afternoon session coincides with the finish time of many other schools, we will open our doors for collection from 3:20 pm. We therefore ask that children be collected from Meadow Nursery School before going to other schools if you cannot get to nursery by 3:30pm. You can come earlier if 3:20pm-3:30pm does not suit your school collection times. If this is the case, please talk to us at the start of term.
