We open according to West Sussex school terms and Nursery School core sessions run from 9.00am - 12.00am and from 1.00pm - 4.00pm.
In line with West Sussex schools we have 5 INSET days per year when the Nursery School is closed. You will be informed of these dates via the newsletter and website.
In addition to their free entitlement, families can buy (or use their extended entitlement) extended sessions, including Breakfast, Lunch and After School Club. Our aim is to provide a service which is tailored as much as possible to families' requirements.

We can also talk you through the application process and answer any questions that you have about us. To book a show round, please give us a call on 01903 276860.
