Registration
There is a fee to register your child. The offer of a place is subject to availability and your child's place is only confirmed once we have confirmed receipt of the full registration fee and a completed registration form. Registration does not guarantee a place. To find out more, information please contact us,
Funded places
We offer funded places for eligible children, including deferred summer-born 5 year olds.
​Please go to childcarechoices.gov.uk to find out what you are entitled to.
Please be aware that the Forest School is our ‘enhanced provision’ and is not included in the ‘free’ hours provided by the government.
​
We ask for your kind understanding that as a nursery offering high-quality enhanced provision, we are unable to cover all of this with the funding provided by the government-entitlement. This fee is necessary to cover the costs associated with delivering the enhanced provision in the Forest School, so that we can maintain these enhanced standards. Thank you for your understanding.
​
If you want to opt out of the ‘enhanced provision fee’, you can choose to take up a ‘nursery basics’ place. These spaces include everything nurseries are required to provide by the EYFS Statutory Framework. Your child will not be guaranteed access to the Forest School each day (they will still have at least 15 minutes outside). These spaces are available from 8.30am-4pm Monday-Thursday.
​
