15 Hour Morning Session: 8:30 am – 11:30 am (Monday to Friday)
-
30 Hour Full Day Session: 8:30 am – 2:30 pm (Monday to Friday, requires an eligibility code)
Extended Nursery Sessions
We offer extended afternoon sessions for a fee of £10 per session. This allows morning children to extend their stay at school until 2:30pm (starting from their usual 8:30am arrival).
Please note: Spaces are limited. Parents must check with the class teacher in advance to ensure a space is available.
Lunch Arrangements
Children staying for the whole day will have lunch at school. You have two options for lunch:
-
School Dinner: This can be booked daily at a cost of £2.29.
-
Packed Lunch: You can send your child to school with a healthy packed lunch from home.
School Uniform
Please note that children are required to wear a school uniform. These standard items can be purchased from anywhere; while uniforms featuring the school logo can be purchased directly from the school, please note that buying the logo items is completely optional; unbranded uniform items in the school colors are perfectly acceptable.
Admissions
For nursery admissions, please apply directly to our school and not through Oxfordshire County Council.
You can register your child online using our waiting list form:
Once you have submitted your application, we will usually contact you during the term before your child is due to start.
Home Visits & Settling In
Before your child starts with us, a member of our nursery team will arrange a home visit. This is a lovely opportunity for us to meet your child in a familiar environment and learn about what they enjoy doing.
During the visit, we will discuss your child's upcoming nursery visits and talk through how we can best support them as they settle in.
If you have any questions, please contact the school office either by calling 01865 777 937 or emailing office@rosehillprimary.org.
