During 6 weeks of the school holidays the nursery runs a holiday club which is available to all children who attend the nursery. The holiday club is run by our usual staff members and holiday club dates will be sent to all parents and carers at the start of each nursery year and the communication will include booking information. The holiday club runs from 8.00am to 5.15pm each day and is charged at our usual rates. We do ask that meals and snacks are provided by parents and carers on holiday club days please.
