From the end of core nursery hours at 2.55pm through until 4.55pm (Monday to Thursday) and until 3.55pm (Friday), the children can continue to participate in a full range of activities across the early year’s curriculum accessing both indoor and outdoor areas. Qualified members of the nursery staff are available to play and support your child.
Sparkly Stars offers the children the opportunity to participate in a range of fun activities, make new friendships and reinforce those made during their usual nursery session. It gives the children continuity of care during the day blending nursery education and childcare seamlessly and gives parents the option of accessing longer hours for work or social commitments.
Access for collection is via the Nest - walk up the pedestrian pathway, turn right to follow the pathway through the big garden wooden gate to the external door. Please ring the doorbell and a staff member will welcome you.
These wraparound hours are booked on a half termly basis and invoices are issued prior to starting sessions based on parents request.
Payments can be made by childcare vouchers or via the school Arbor account. The account details are detailed in Arbor. The nursery is also registered with HMRC to receive payments via the Tax Free Childcare scheme.
All bookings are made through the office forms and correspondence with: wraparound@westonway.herts.sch.uk
If places are available children can have additional sessions to those booked on a ‘drop in’ basis. Places must be booked via email to ensure we are able to accommodate requests and paid for at the time of booking.
