If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact our Admissions Team.
When can my child start at Bassett House Nursery School?
Children can join us from when they turn two years old.
Can I use government funding?
Yes, we accept 15 or 30 government funded hours a week, up until your child turns 5 years old.
How many days per week can my child attend?
We require a commitment of a minimum three mornings per week, although many of our children will stay for five mornings per week, or for full days. Morning sessions are from 8.30 am until 12.00 pm. Full days are from 8.30 am until 3.40 pm.
In the Summer Term before joining our Reception class, we ask that the children attend a minimum of three full days per week. All that said, we appreciate that families lead busy lives and endeavour to accommodate request priori to offering a place. Please talk to our Admissions Department about this upon enquiry.
When can I drop off and pick up my child?
We understand that our parents have busy schedules, balancing work commitments with drop-off and pick-up times. To assist you, we offer wraparound care starting at 8.00 am and a timetable for your child that extends until 6.00 pm, if required.
Does my child need to be potty trained?
For 3+ entry, children need to be potty trained to make the most of all the opportunities offered at Bassett House Nursery School. However, we do realise that accidents can happen though from time to time.
Do the children play outdoors?
Is lunch provided?
Yes, children who attend a full day in our Nursery School are provided with a hot lunch, pudding and fruit in our dining hall .
