Our nursery provides term-time care for children aged from 9 months to 4 years.  If you live in catchment there is a chance your children can attend Dane Ghyll from 9 months until they are aged 11 (over 10 years!).

Our 70 place nursery offers excellent care facilities and fantastic learning opportunities. The nursery curriculum is closely linked to our whole school curriculum and we offer a wide range of learning experiences on and off site!

The nursery is split into 4 separate classes;

Baby Room (9 months - aged 2)

Fluffy Cloud Room (aged 2)

Rainbow Room (aged 3) 

Sunshine Room (preschool)

Lunch
If your session times include the lunch period you may choose to either send your child to nursery with a packed lunch or choose to have a school meal.  The school lunches which are available are healthy, balanced meals and weekly menus are available online, so that you choose in advance.  There is a charge for the school lunches.  Please ensure that the packed lunches sent are healthy and in line with the school healthy eating policy which includes no chocolate bars or fizzy drinks.  Please see a member of staff for more details.
To comply with our safeguarding duties you must inform  the nursery of any planned absences, holidays or illness which results in your child being absent from nursery.

Uniform
Our Nursery uniform is available from Identity Barrow and allows the children to feel part of our class alongside ensuring that they can freely play outdoors or messy play without concern for damaging or soiling the children’s clothes.  Please ensure that your child bring appropriate outdoor clothing for the current weather as we will be going outdoors for play on a daily basis, this includes sun cream during warm weather.  Please ensure that sun cream is applied BEFORE the first session attended and for those staying throughout the day please bring named in your child’s bag.
Please ensure that all clothing is named and a change of clothing in each child’s bag.
