Join Woodford Halse Nursery
Woodford Halse Nursery welcomes you and your child to come and visit us and take a tour to see us in action, or you can join a Stay and Play session for 2-3-year-olds which is held each term. All admissions to our nursery are managed by the school office. If you would like more information about applications and funding, please contact us for assistance.
Now with spaces for two-year-olds
We are excited to announce that our nursery provision will shortly be opening for children aged two to three, as well as continuing to cater for three and four-year olds.
Nursery is where your child's educational journey starts and adventures begin. Woodford Halse Nursery now offers teacher-led education for two to four-year-olds and is a fantastic, friendly place for children to begin their learning and development.
In the first instance, we will only be accepting applications for a minimum of 15 hours per week. This could mean a child attends for two full days and one half day every week, or every morning (8.30 - 11.30), or a combination that works best for you. Full-time spaces are also available.
Please contact our office for an application form, or to arrange a tour.

Whole day: 8.30am - 3.30pm (seven hours)
Morning session: 8.30am - 11.30am (three hours)
Lunch: 11.30am - 12.30pm (one hour)
