Nursery
Admissions
We can accept children into our school Nursery the term after their 3rd Birthday. If you are looking for a space for a child younger than this we signpost to Explorers at Sundorne. They are located on our site but are an independent company. Please feel free to view their website – https://www.explorersatsundorne.co.uk/ and contact them directly.
