We are delighted to be opening our school nursery in September 2025. 

Our nursery will be a warm, welcoming, and stimulating environment where children can explore, play, and learn with confidence.  The nursery will provide:

• Experienced and caring staff who support each child’s individual needs
• A focus on learning through play, both indoors and outdoors
• A strong connection with the wider school, easing the transition to Reception
• Flexible sessions to suit your family’s needs

We will be offering 15-hour universally funded places for 3 and 4 year-olds, in line with government funding, and also some 30-hour funded places for eligible working families. (To find out if you qualify for extended funding, please visit www.gov.uk/free-childcare-if-working/check-youre-eligible or speak with a member of our team.) If there is availability, we will also offer top-up paid sessions.

15-hour places can be taken as 2.5 full days or 5 morning or afternoon sessions. These will run Monday - Friday term time only. 

Morning session:  8.45am  - 11.45pm  Afternoon session: 11.45am - 2.45pm  Full day: 8.45 - 2.45pm

Afternoons and full days can be extended until 3.15pm for a charge of £3 per day.

If you are interested in a place for your child please complete the form attached below and email it to nursery@st-nicolas.oxon.sch.uk

Nursery admissions are managed by the school, but we have adopted the Oxfordshire County Council Nursery admissions policy (see attached below). In the event of places being oversubscribed, we will follow the criteria in this policy.

Children can join our nursery the term after they are 3, and we have 3 admission points throughout the year in September, January and April, detailed below.

2025/26
