Admissions to our nursery
At Lantern Primary and Nursery, our learning journey starts with children the term after their third birthday, where they can join our nursery provision. There is an internal application process for parents interested in sending their child to our nursery.
Our nursery offer is 15 universal hours per week and children usually attend every morning from 8.50am until 11.50am. We also accept children who receive a 30-hour code. These children can access the nursery provision across the school day. Nursery children can stay for lunch, if parents want this, but this is a paid provision. Nursery children are integrated into our early years and foundation stage setting with children of reception age.
