Netherton Park Nursery School - <>

Welcome to Netherton Park Nursery School. We have been providing excellent education and care for the youngest children in Dudley since 1938.

NURSERY

Our Nursery School admits children after their third birthday and we have the capacity for up to 52 children at one time. Children can attend for either five part sessions per week, to be taken in the mornings or afternoons, or for two and a half days per week. We also have spaces for children to attend full time with before and after care given in our kindergarten.

All children are entitled 15 hours of free provision in the term following their third birthday. Any extra time is paid for as 'Wraparound Care' if space allows.

Nursery sessions are as follows:

5 Mornings - 8:40am - 11:40am

5 Afternoons - 12:30pm - 3:30pm

2 and 1/2 days - Monday and Tuesday 8:40am - 2:40pm and Wednesday 8:40am - 11:40am

Wraparound Care is available from 7:30am to 5:30pm all year around (Closed for Bank Holidays and INSET Days)

Our aim is to support the learning and development of each individual child by providing an integrated, balanced, broad, stimulating and differentiated curriculum.

KINDERGARTEN

Kindergarten is our Early Years provision for 0-3 year olds. Children can be accommodated in our Baby Room from three months old and stay in there usually until they are almost two years old. Their state of development determines when they move from Baby Room into Rainbow Room which caters for two and three year olds.

Recent research highlights the importance of these very early years of life; it is vital that babies and toddlers from strong relationships with their important adults and that our key worker systems reinforce this.

It is equally key that very young children have the opportunities and experiences they need to grow and develop in a supported environment. Our staff are well qualified and experienced in ensuring that children's emotional, cognitive and physical developments are met.

We are open from 7:30am to 5:30pm all year round (Closed Bank Holidays and INSET Days). Please phone us if you would like to look around or discuss your childcare needs.

We also have limited number of places for Time for Two's, which is funded by the Government for children in disadvantaged areas. Please contact the Centre if you feel you may be entitled.

Time for Two's provision is available for eligible children the term following their second birthday.

It allows children 15 hours of childcare which we currently provide over morning sessions and afternoon sessions.
