Minchinhampton School Nursery

Minchinhampton School Nursery is the only new purpose-built nursery unit in a primary school in Gloucestershire.
Times of opening are 8.50 a.m. to 11.45 a.m. Monday to Friday plus Monday and Tuesday after- noons 12.50 to 3.20 p.m.
There are 16 places available for children who have their 4th birthday during the year (September Ist 2006 -August 31st 2007). Parents may choose the number of mornings that they would like their child to attend. This could be one to eight sessions each week -for the sake of continuity, we suggest a minimum of two sessions is appropriate for children in their pre-school year.

Our aim is to prepare children for their Reception year by giving them an excellent foundation on which to build when they start full-time education as well as giving them a chance to sample daily life at the school.
Cost per morning session is £10.00. Lunchtime care on Mondays and Tuesdays is charged @ £5.00.
Government grants are now available to cover the cost of Nursery fees. Please contact the Nursery or School to check your eligibility for a grant.



The Nursery Teacher is Dot Neale, who has many years experience of early-years teaching..
The Nursery has already proved to be very popular and we are keen that every family in Minchinhampton with pre-school children should be aware that the Nursery is there for them.

The Nursery provides pre-school education and care as set out in the Foundation Stage and Early Learning Goals, the Government's guidelines for the 3-5 year old. The Minchinhampton School Nursery Unit is providing an excellent quality of pre-school education, and has provided the children in our care with a sound foundation to starting school.
