Bignold Primary School

Nursery & Pre-school

Nursery and Preschool welcome new families to our nurturing environment where the children are always at the heart of everything we do.

We offer an engaging and stimulating environment where we discover the joy of learning through play, in carefully designed areas ready to promote exploration and discovery.

Our nurturing and dedicated staff will work in close partnership with parents to support each child's individual needs so every child feels valued, listened too and cared for.

Nursery is our 2 year-old provision and operates 8.30am-11.30am Monday-Friday.

Pre-school is our 3-4 year-old provision and operates 8.30am-3.30pm Monday-Friday.

Both rooms operate during term-time only.

Funding available

Two-year-olds, 15 hours free childcare

Some children are entitled to 15 hours free childcare at the start of the term following their second birthday depending upon their family financial circumstances.

Three and four-year-olds, 15 hours free childcare

All three and four-year-olds are entitled to 15 hours free childcare at the start of the new term following their third birthday.

30 hours free childcare

Some children will be eligible for 30 hours free childcare depending upon family financial circumstances. Parents would need to check eligibility by logging onto the following website:

Childcare Support Tax

When you log onto the website you will need to have your National Insurance number and financial paperwork available.

If you are eligible for 30 hours free childcare you will be given an eligibility code. This code needs to be given to Nursery School in order for us to claim the free childcare.

Eligibility has to be re-confirmed every three months. You will receive an email reminder from HMRC reminding you that your reconfirmation is overdue. You will then need to log onto your childcare account:

Gov.uk

Select reconfirmation and follow the instructions to check your details are up to date. If you were given a temporary eligibility code then you would have to click on the re-apply button rather than the reconfirm button.

We charge £5.50 per hour for any non-funded hours. Our charging policy and admissions policy are available on request.
