We are a term time nursery and follow the same holiday dates as St john’s Catholic Primary school. Sunbeams has two, three-hour sessions a day available, 9am—12pm and 12pm -3 pm. The children who stay all day or just come for the afternoon session, have their lunch at 12. All children are entitled to 15 hours free education from the term after their 3rd birthday, which amounts to 5 sessions, although some parents are eligible for 30. To check whether you may be eligible to claim additional hours, please visit www.childcare choices.gov.uk. Alternatively you can pay privately once your child turns 3 till they are eligible for the childcare vouchers.

As well as our usual nursery hours we offer Wraparound Care “Wraparound care’ is most usually referred to as childcare that wraps around a child’s Nursery/Pre School Education.
