Nursery is open for applications throughout the year!

You can apply for a place by completing an application form and then posting it to nursery or emailing it to:

nursery@oakridge-inf.hants.sch.uk

Application forms can be found below.

We offer a range of session options for you and your child, school time hours, half days or full wraparound care from 8am-4pm.  Our nursery provides 40 spaces, including a maximum of 8 places for 2 year olds.  All children are entitled to 15 hours a week free learning and care in an early years setting from the beginning of the term following their third birthday, for 38 weeks in a full year.  This totals 570 hours.  We also offer spaces for 3 and 4 year old children who are eligible for 30 hours free funding and 2 year olds who are eligible for funding to provide free childcare.  If you think that your child may be eligible for either of these, please follow the link below for more information.

We are able to provide additional hours over your free entitlement but these need to be booked in advance.  Every additional hour session is available for £6.75 for 3 and 4 year olds and £7.00 for two year olds (reduced to £6.25 for 3 and 4 year olds and £6.50 for 2 year olds attending for a whole day) which is either payable when making the booking or on receipt of an invoice.  These sessions must be paid for in advance.  Failure to pay on time risks losing your child’s place at the Nursery.

Once you have been offered a place at Nursery we encourage you to drop in for settling visits where you can stay with your child.  This helps you both to get to know the staff and other children before your child starts with us.
