Frequently asked questions

How do I register my child?

By completing a registration form in person at our St Paul’s Way centre.

How soon can my child start?

As soon as place is available.

Can I pre-register my child before their eligible age?

We operate a waiting list so that families can register their children prior to their children becoming eligible.

Is there a cap on how many funded children you can take?

No, we operate a first come first serve policy whether your child accesses funding or pays fee’s.

How long is the waiting list?

This depends on the time of year, but generally it is about a term.

What is the curriculum like?

Our approach to your child’s development starts with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum and goes way further to help your child make the most of their time at nursery and prepare them for the journey ahead.

We offer a range of different activities throughout the setting which focus on the prime areas of learning (personal, social and emotional development, physical development and communication and language development) and the specific area of learning (literacy, mathematics, understanding the world and expressive arts and design). We operate a free flow system where children can assess the activities throughout the session in both our indoor and outdoor space.

Our nursery fees cover all tuition, nappies and most trips. A small charge may be needed for trips depending on where we are going.
