Nursery Places

Our school Nursery provides a safe, stimulating and nurturing environment with most of the sessions taking place outdoors in our Woodland Classroom. Our experienced and dedicated Early Years Team will very quickly build strong relationships with your child and help them to grow both academically and emotionally. In our Foundation Stage Unit, nursery provision is as follows; five days per week, 8:50 a.m. to 3:20pm, 38 weeks per year. We aim to be flexible to suit all needs, so offer both half days and full days depending on number of spaces available. Nursery applications are dealt with in-house. Please email admin@shocklachoviatt.cheshire.sch.uk or telephone 01829 250 285 to express an interest and we will organise a viewing.
