Our nursery class welcomes all children once they have turned 3 until they start in Reception. We have places for 52 children to attend at any one time.
Attendance at our Nursery class does not automatically mean that children will be awarded a place in our Reception class. School admissions are decided and administered by Cheshire East Council and parents still need to apply for a school place for their child at: https://www.cheshireeast.gov.uk/schools/admissions/start-school-september.aspx
Parents are welcome to make enquiries and register their interest for a place in the nursery class whenever they wish, and places will be confirmed the term before the children are due to start. If there is a situation where the demand for places is greater than the number of places available, we will allocate places on a first come, first served basis.
We are offering 15 hour and 30 hour places and are open 38 weeks of the year.
Children can attend either:
- 15 hours: 5 mornings 08:45 to 11:45
- 15 hours: 5 afternoons 12:15 to 15:15
- 30 hours: Monday to Thursday 08:45 to 15:15 and Fridays 08:45 to 11:45 (with the option to extend this to a full day at a cost of £10 per week)
If your child is or will be 3 years old in the next academic year and you would like to apply for a place, please complete the Nursery Place Enquiry form below and return it to the school office on admin@shavingtonprimary.co.uk. You are also welcome to drop it off in person at the school office.
We will contact you the term before your child is due to start to offer you a place and send out a registration pack.
All children are eligible to receive 15 hours of free early education entitlement (FEEE) starting from the term after they are 3 years old. This funding is provided by the local authority and comes straight to school. We will need parents to complete a FEEE form before their child starts in order for us to access their funding.
Some families are entitled to receive 30 hours of funding each week, rather than 15. To check your eligibility please see:
Apply for 30 hours free childcare - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
If you wish for your child to start immediately after their third birthday, weekly fees will apply until their funding starts the following term. Similarly, if you wish for your child to attend for 30 hours, but they are only eligible for 15 hours, weekly fees will apply.
Parents can, if needed, access before and after school club to provide wrap around care. For more information about this provision, please follow this link: Out of School Care | Shavington Primary School
