Welcome to our Nursery

Welcome to our Nursery. We offer up to 30 hours provision, Monday - Friday, during term-time. Children are welcome to attend our Nursery from the age of three.

Sacred Heart School is at the centre of our community in Teddington, and as with the main school, we welcome all Catholic and non-Catholic families.

We are here to serve our local families.

Nursery Provision at Sacred Heart

Universal Entitlement – 15 Hours Funded
All children are entitled to 15 hours of free childcare. At Sacred Heart, this can be taken as:

• Morning sessions: 8.45am – 11.45am (Monday–Friday)

30-Hour Extended Funded Offer 
For families eligible for 30-hour funding, we offer extended places from 8.45am – 2.45pm (Monday–Friday).

• This includes the 15-hour universal entitlement plus 15 hours extended funding.
• To check eligibility, visit childcarechoices.gov.uk.
• Children can stay until 3.15pm with an additional supervision charge of £5 per day (or may be collected promptly at 2.45pm).
• A healthy packed lunch must be provided for children staying over lunchtime unless in receipt of EYPP when a hot lunch will be provided.  A hot meal can be organised if families wish to pay for this.

Unless paying privately for additional hours, there should be no further charges from school.

 

Self-funded in the afternoons

For parents who are not entitled to 30-hour funding, there is an option to apply for extended hours at £10 per hour (£30 for a three-hour session) depending on availability.

All extended hours places will need to be booked and paid in advance each half-term or monthly by arrangement via Arbor. 

Mrs Marzena Adamik, our Finance Officer, will send a link to this system once your child has started Nursery.   Finance queries can be directed to Mrs Adamik on finance@sacredheart.richmond.sch.uk.
