Welcome to All Saints' Nursery

From the age of 3, we welcome children from all backgrounds and faiths into a secure environment that offers a huge range of experiences. 

Our vibrant Nursery is a nurturing and stimulating setting; it is filled with the energy of children who are continually encouraged to approach the world with curiosity, a spirit of exploration and a growth mindset so that they have the opportunity to reach their full learning potential.

We develop positive relationships and believe in a strong parent/carer-school partnership.  Children are encouraged to develop their independence and use their imagination, curiosity and inquisitiveness; this helps them to acquire and develop the knowledge, skills and positive attitudes that they need to be ready for the next stage of their learning journey.  

Every child is important to us at All Saints'; we ensure that they are all given every opportunity to thrive happily in a safe, caring and inclusive environment.

We are a maintained nursery within a primary school which means that:

• We are led by a headteacher and employ qualified teachers to lead the curriculum
• Our early years practitioners are highly qualified and experienced professionals
• Our special needs and disabilities co-ordinator (SENDCo) is a qualified teacher with the appropriate SEND qualification
• We are in an independent EYFS building with its own outdoor learning space
• We are part of a thriving primary school which facilities the smoothest possible transition from Nursery to Reception
• Please note we are not a feeder nursery to All Saints' CE Primary School and parents will still need to apply via Barnet Admissions for a place in our Reception class
• We are inspected by Ofsted and were rated 'Good' in our last inspection

When can my child join All Saints' Nursery?

All children are entitled to 15 free hours a week of childcare provided by the government and can start at All Saints' Nursery for free, the term following their third birthday.

* Depending on when Easter falls, April birthdays can be before, during or after the Easter holidays; the term that an April-born child can start at All Saints' will vary accordingly. 

What are 15 or 30 free hours?

All children are entitled to 15 free hours a week of child care provided by the government which is the equivalent to part-time attendance.  15 hours equates to 5 (3-hour) sessions per week.  Children will attend for 3 hours from Monday to Friday. Parents and carers can request which sessions (morning or afternoon) they want their child to attend, we will do our best to accommodate this.

Some children are entitled to 30 free hours which is a full-time place at our nursery.  This consists of all morning and afternoon sessions, but does not include the lunch hour.

What hours does the Nursery operate?

The main operating hours of our Nursery are 8.45am-3.45pm

What are the top-up fees?

If there is space, parents and carers can top up the amount of hours that their child attends the nursery.

Please contact the school office to discuss this further and we will do our best to accommodate your needs.
