Fees and Funding
The Nursery is open Monday to Friday, 7.30am to 6.00 pm for 50 weeks of the year. We close for all bank holidays, Christmas Eve, the period between Christmas and New Year and for the last week of August.
Fees are charged for 50 weeks of the year (the closure weeks in August and at Christmas are not chargeable, however normal charges apply to all other bank holidays).
Our session times are 8.00 am - 6.00 pm for full days and 8.00 am – 1.00 pm or 1.00 pm to 6.00 pm for a half day. For those that need an earlier start we offer a ‘breakfast club’ between 7.30 and 8.00, for which there is a small additional charge.
We also offer a limited number of term time only contracts for 39 weeks of the year, in line with Stockport Primary School term dates. https://www.stockport.gov.uk/school-term-dates
In addition to this, we offer a limited number of ‘pre-school’ places to those over 3 from 9.00 to 3.00 over 5 days and these can be taken up term time only or all year.
