Would you like your child to stay in the Nursery on a Friday afternoon? Maybe you have older siblings further up the school, maybe you would like the consistency of five full days for your child or maybe the extra afternoon would just be more suitable for your family. We offer an additional 3.5 hours of childcare, charged at £17.50 so that your child can stay in Nursery until 3.15pm on Fridays.
