Our on-site 40 place school-led Nursery provides excellent care and education for children aged from two years, led by experiened teachers, for 48 weeks of the year.
BCPS Nursery is led by teacher Ellie Jones, who works very closely with our Early Years Phase Leader, Hannah James. Ellie also works alongside our Deputy Phase Lead, Molly Sobey and our two Reception class teachers, Emma Orchard and Lucy Muchenje-Daye, forming our very successful Foundation Stage teaching team. The Nursery delivers the first part of the Early Years Foundation Stage, which is continued through into the Reception class, providing progression matched to each child’s developmental stages from two to five years.
BCPS is an inclusive and innovative school and we endeavour to create an environment which will foster a love of learning and offers opportunities for children to work both collaboratively and independently to meet their full potential. Our Nursery provides a wide range of opportunities and experiences to encourage our youngest children to develop their natural curiosity and thinking skills while having fun, indoors and outside:
You can be assured that your child will develop the foundations upon which they will continue to build throughout their school career and beyond acquiring independence and confidence in their learning as well as making friendships that will carry through to their primary school years.

“To know that your child is being looked after within such a supportive, caring setting is wonderful and allows me to concentrate on my working day. Thanks.”
“My mind is at ease when my child is in their care.”
“Always a wide range of activities on offer for my daughter and lots to engage her interest and develop her skills - brilliant!”

The Nursery sessions run from:
8.00am to 9.00am (3-4 year olds only)
9.00am to 12.00pm (Morning Session)
12.00pm to 3.00pm (Afternoon Session)
3.00pm to 6.00pm (3-4 year olds only)
Children attending a morning session need to be collected at 12.00pm. Children attending an afternoon session, or all day, need to be collected at 3.00pm, unless they are attending the 3.00 - 6.00pm session.
Lunch times are part of the education of the children as they teach them key social skills. We therefore allow for lunch to be eaten at the end of the morning sessions or at the beginning of the afternoon session, depending on your child’s session pattern.
Children attending a morning session only can have lunch at 11.30am or you may prefer your child to eat at home with you.
Children attending an afternoon session only can have lunch when they arrive at 12.00pm.
We offer nursery children the chance to become part of our Dining Club where between one and five lunches per week can be purchased in advance, with a weekly pre-order of your child’s menu choices. The current menu can be viewed on the school website (under the parents’ tab) and we send out the next term's menu choices at the end of the previous term. Alternatively your child can bring a packed lunch from home.
Our current hourly rates are:
£6.50 per hour for 2 year olds
£5.30 per hour for 3 and 4 year olds
These are charged for hours over and above Early Years Entitlement, Extended Entitlement, 2 Year Old funding and for non-funded children.
You can check with www.gov.uk to see whether you are eligible to receive help with childcare costs, including the 2 Year Old scheme.
Invoices for any unfunded hours are sent out at the beginning of every term. Our preferred method of payment is online, using the ‘Wisepay’ system, which is accessible via the school’s website. We also accept employer’s childcare vouchers and tax free childcare payments.
For further details on how to pay please contact our school admin team.
