Burford School is delighted to offer a teacher led nursery setting for children the term after they turn three. 

We offer:

• A Teacher led setting supported by a Level 3 Nursery Practitioner and an Apprentice.
• A fantastic learning environment providing children with the opportunity to play, explore and learn.
• Access to their own fully enclosed garden with a wealth of play resources.
• A chance to mix socially with the same group of children that they will be in Reception with (if they are allocated a place at Burford School).
• An opportunity to join in with whole school events and use wider school facilities.
• Small class size (maximum 26 in a session).
• Forest School sessions.
• A variety of activities including, but not limited to, art and craft, sand and water play, sensory play, stories, nature themed activities and music. Additionally, we offer daily literacy and maths games.

Funding

Every child is entitled to 15 hours of free education each week funded by the local authority. In addition, some parents may be entitled to claim a further 15 hours each week provided they meet criteria specified by the government.

Where a child exceeds their funded weekly entitlement, each additional hour will be charged at £7.00. 

Children may stay for lunch and will be required to bring a packed lunch.  The lunch time period will be included when calculating funded hours used.

Consumables

All resources and consumables are provided within the school Nursery budget. If parents have a personal preference for consumables, ie nappies, we would request these are provided by parents to the Nursery.

Nursery School Day

The Nursery is currently open during term time, 5 days per week from 08:40-15:10 and follows the Burford School Holidays and Inset Days.

Unfortunately, a place at our Nursery does not guarantee the offer of a school place, as school places are allocated by the local authority and we have no influence on this process.
