Deciding the right school for your child is a big decision. We want every child at Stoke Hill Federation to be in exactly the very best place for them and their family too, so we encourage you to visit if you can. Please contact us by phone or email to arrange a visit and if you have any questions or queries.
The Nursery is a creative and inspirational teacher led Nursery, offering a stimulating indoor and outdoor environment to play and explore. As an exploratory Nursery, adults prioritise playing alongside the children, supporting them to work collaboratively and communicate their ideas. At our previous inspection the Nursery was recognised as ‘outstanding’ and since then it has been getting better and better!
Nursery sessions are 9am – 12.00pm or 12.00pm – 3.00pm or 9 -3.00pm with a packed lunch at midday which is provided from home or a hot lunch which you can order for £2. Some families may be entitled to a free school meal, please speak to the admin team about this.
All families can access their 15 hours Early Years entitlement and some families may be eligible for 30 hours of funding. Speak to our administrator, Debbie Clyburn for more information and advice 01392 908178.
