Heymann Primary School opened a brand new nursery (Pre-School) in January 2014.  The nursery (pre-school) is in a purpose built classroom in our Infant building and has its own enclosed outdoor play area.

There are many advantages to using our school based nursery:

• Led by a qualified teacher
• Supported by well qualified Teaching Assistants
• Housed in a purpose built room in our new Infant building
• Outdoor play area with brand new equipment
• Access to all the school equipment and facilities – interactive whiteboard, large school hall, sensory room.
• Fully funded places, five 3-hour sessions
• Access to our school Wrap Around Care services providing child care from 7:30am – 6:00pm
• Continuous education from 3-11 years (subject to accepted application for a reception place)

Our Nursery

The nursery has 39 places based on 2 sessions per day.  Places are available in the year before your child starts Reception.  A limited number of places may be offered to younger children, who are over the age of 3.  On admission parents are asked to choose between 5 morning or 5 afternoon sessions.  Additionally, we offer wrap-around care, enabling your child to stay all day for an additional cost, or with use of the 30-hour funding. Whenever possible first preference of sessions will be offered, but preferences will be allocated subject to availability and are not guaranteed.

Times

• The morning session is from 8:30am until 11:30am.
• The afternoon session is from 12:15pm until 3:15pm.
• These times fit closely with the main school times:
• Infants (KS1)  8:40 – 3:10 and Juniors (KS2) 8:50 – 3:20

Applying for a place

We are inviting parents to put their child’s name on our ‘expression of interest list’ from the age of 2 years.  Parents are welcome to apply for a place at any time and any applications received after these dates will be considered at the time.  The following is an overview of our application process for a September place:
