Nursery News!

Date: 9th May 2017 @ 10:01pm

We are very excited to announce that Willow Wood has been awarded over £250 000 to fund the building of a nursery to support the delivery of the 30 hours extended entitlement coming into effect from September 2017. This means that the Local Authority, who supported our project, and the Department for Education (DfE) believe that our school is a great place to provide nursery education and childcare.

This funding will enable us to provide a purpose built nursery for our youngest children to grow and thrive. We are particularly pleased that we will be able to invest in an amazing outdoor play area in which  3 and 4 year old children will be able to explore, learn and play with their friends.

Governors will now be working on the best way to deliver the 30 hour entitlement to early years provision for parents who meet the criteria. To see if you are entitled to claim this provision please visit the online eligibility checking service for parents:

If you want any further information please contact Mrs Tolley, School Business Manager.

Exciting times ahead!
