What is the structure of the Nursery Day?
What do Nursery children eat, and where do they eat?
Nursery children who stay will us for lunch eat at the Nursery. The food is exactly the same as that which is served to older children in the School, cooked in the main school kitchens by our school caterers, Holroyd Howe. You can find out more about our school meals here
Can I use childcare vouchers?
Child care vouchers can be used
Will my child automatically move up to Reception at Edge Grove
A place in our Nursery does not guarantee an automatic place in Edge Grove Reception, although the vast majority of Nursery children do move up to Reception. Nursery children do not sit the same 4+ assessment as those coming from external nurseries, as our Early Years staff are already familiar with the children and able to make a judgement as to whether Reception at Edge Grove is the right setting for them.
Is there any wraparound care for Edge Grove Nursery pupils|?
Yes! From September 2024, wraparound care is available at our Nursery until 1800 every day.
We also work with Keen Beans Camps to provide Holiday Camps for children from age 3 in all School Holidays. For more information about Keen Beans, please visit their website here
