St John Fisher Nursery

St John Fisher Nursery will be opening in Summer Term 2026, and we very much look forward to welcoming our youngest children and their families into our school community.

Our nursery will be open for 38 weeks of the year, offering care and education for children aged 3 to 4 years. We are open five days a week, with two daily sessions:

• Morning session: 8:45am – 11:45am

• Afternoon session: 12:15pm – 3:15pm

For families who are entitled to 30 hours of funded childcare, we are pleased to be able to offer additional sessions. (You may be eligible if you live in England and your child is aged 3 or 4.) There is a small £3 daily charge to support lunchtime supervision. You can check your eligibility for the 30-hour entitlement using this link:

At St John Fisher, our aim is to provide a loving, nurturing and safe environment where children feel happy, valued and confident to explore the world around them. Learning takes place through play, discovery and meaningful experiences, with a balance of child-led learning and carefully planned adult-led activities throughout each session.

We encourage every child to develop independence, curiosity and a joy for learning. Our nursery will follow the Early Years Foundation Stage, supporting children across the seven areas of learning through thoughtful planning and careful observation.

We recognise and celebrate every child as a unique gift from God. We value each child as an individual, honour their differences and help them to grow in confidence and resilience. Rooted in our Catholic ethos, we help children to understand that through God’s love, we learn together, grow together and achieve together.

Please note that applications to the nursery are a separate process from admission to the main school.

We would be delighted to meet with you, show you our setting and answer any questions you may have. To arrange a visit, please email the school office to make an appointment.

We look forward to welcoming you and your child into the St John Fisher family.
