place the term during which they turn 3 years old provided places are available. Further Information Daily morning sessions run from 8:30am-11:30am and afternoon sessions from 12:30pm-3:30pm. Lunchtime sessions are available for 15 hour places, charged at £3.50 per session. If you think your child may be eligible for Early Years Pupil Premium to cover this lunchtime charge, please speak to a member of the Nursery staff team. We acknowledge that some parents may wish to use their 15 or 30 hour education entitlement across two providers and therefore not take their full 15 or 30 hours at Alfreton Nursery School, however we do expect all children to attend for either 2 ½ sessions (for 15 hours eligibility) and 5 sessions (for 30 hours eligibility). It may not always be possible to offer children starting nursery their full 30 hour entitlement due to the pressure of numbers and space. Although we do our best to ensure every child receives their requested hours, these sessions cannot be guaranteed. You will be notified of your allocation the half-term before your child is due to start nursery. Parents/Carers have a choice whether they accept the place they are offered. INSET Days are classed as a normal school day, ie if an INSET Day falls on your child’s normal day, alternative arrangements will need to be organised for that day. To check whether your child is eligible for 15 or 30 hours childcare please visit How to Apply for a Place Parents/Carers can ring, come into school or complete our on-line form from our school website to put their child’s name down on our school waiting list. Waiting List Parents are encouraged to put their child’s name down for nursery as soon as possible. This helps nursery to predict and therefore plan for different cohort sizes. There is no guarantee of a place because demand for places may fluctuate. Priority will always be given to local families (see Admissions Criteria for further information).
