St Nicolas Preschool

St Nicolas Preschool

We currently have spaces available for 3 and 4 year olds.  Please call us on 01235 536061 or email stnicolaspreschool@btinternet.com for more information. 

St Nicolas Preschool is a Partnership Foundation Stage Unit with St Nicolas School and is run separately from the primary school. The independently run preschool has one intake per year in September (if spare places are available there may be a smaller intake in the January, where priority is given to children who turn 4 between Sept-Dec).  Children can be registered on our waiting list from their 2nd birthday and, if offered a place, will start with us the September following their third birthday. A place at St Nicolas Preschool does not guarantee a place at St Nicolas School.  Short visits prior to starting may be arranged by contacting the preschool manager - please call us on 01235 536061 or email stnicolaspreschool@btinternet.com if you would like more information about our preschool.

We offer universal (15 hours/week) funded places for 3&4 year olds and the extended offer of 30 hours/week funding to eligible families, subject to availability - please visit the government website http://childcarechoices.gov.uk to see if you are eligible.  We offer up to 6 funded hours per day. Sessions over 6 hours on any day will incur an additional charge.
