Introduction

Your child's education starts at birth, with you as the first teacher. Your child has already learned how to communicate, the beginnings of how to mix with others and has started to develop knowledge, skills and attitudes. The opportunities and activities that you provide for your child stimulate interest and provoke questions. When you listen attentively, answer questions and give explanations, you are encouraging learning.
 
Curiosity and the strong will to be independent are the child's way of demonstrating a desire to learn and, at Monkchester Road Nursery; we aim to work with you, to take this desire to learn even further. With your support we aim to provide a safe and stimulating place where EVERY child can grow and develop to achieve their full potential.

We appreciate that you have made an important step forward by allowing us to share with you the education of your child. It is a responsibility that we take most seriously. We look forward to having fun and learning together with you and your child.
 
Playgroup Hours:
We offer two Playgroup sessions each day: a morning session from 9.00am to 12.00pm and an afternoon session from 12.15pm to 3.15pm.

Our Childcare Manager, Mrs Terry, will do her very best to accommodate your child in your preferred session, subject to availability.

Children who are eligible for the 30 hours of funded childcare attend Playgroup from 9.00am to 3.00pm.

Nursery Hours:
Children in Main Nursery attend from 9:00am to 2:00pm. However, we recognise that every child is unique and work closely with families to respond to each child’s individual needs. As a result, starting and finishing times may vary where appropriate, particularly as we implement new guidelines around safer eating and ensure that every child is given the time, care and support they need during mealtimes.
 
We look forward to welcoming your child to Playgroup or Nursery
