Our Nursery sessions for the summer term, April - July 2025, will run as follows:
Initially two-year-olds will be offered 2-5 mornings (9am-12), sessions available will depend on numbers at that time.
Full day care (9am-3pm) is only available once children turn 3 years old and are ready for full days in our busy Nursery environment. The hours offered to these children will be over 15 hours (2.5 days). Any extra sessions/days in addition to these full days will be offered subject to demand and/or availability.
The term after the child turns 3, if they are eligible they may be offered up to 30 hours (5days). NB. Children are prohibited to attend for one day a week only.

Admission details
Egerton Nursery is open to children from two years old until they leave to go to reception class.
Parents are welcome to make enquiries and register their interest for a place in the nursery class for our next intake dates. Although we do our very best to provide places for all children, early expression of interest does not necessarily guarantee a place.
All children are placed on a waiting list. If more children apply than the number of places available, children will be placed in order of age (oldest first) and then priority will be given to:
- Children who have older siblings who attend Egerton Primary School
- Children living in its catchment area.
- Children living outside the catchment area.
A place at Egerton Nursery does not guarantee the offer of a place at Egerton Primary School.
(Applications for a reception class place is via Cheshire East Council website during the Autumn term before the September start date).
We will be in touch approximately a half term before the starting date and a visit will be offered. If the place is accepted, then one induction visit is arranged during the half term before the starting date. The induction visit allows children and their parents/carers to meet the staff and their new playmates, see the routine and become familiar with the nursery.
Special Educational Needs
We are an inclusive setting and welcome all children, however it is essential that you advise us before your child starts, of any additional needs or concerns you may have regarding your child’s development. Or any professionals such as speech and language therapists or agencies such as social workers involved with your family. This will enable us to ensure we can meet all your child’s needs and put in place any additional support they may need.
