Turtles
At Turtles, much like the entirety of the Gagle Brook community, we care about our learning, each other, and the world around us. We introduce children to the world of education, as well as the world around them, through fun and engaging activities. We focus on the individual needs of each child and help them to develop the foundational skills that are so crucial in early years learning.
Our nursery is located on the site of our wonderful primary school, which ensures young children become familiar with the atmosphere of a school and spending time near older children. We’ve found this to be highly beneficial for children who progress from our nursery to our primary school, as they settle in quickly to familiar surroundings.
Our Provision
The Gagle Brook Nursery provision is available for 3 to 4-year-olds and provided by a team of experienced carers and educators.
We offer two options:
15 Hours: Monday - Friday 8:45am - 11:45am (Mornings only)
30 Hours: Monday - Thursday 8:45am - 3:15pm & Friday 8:45am - 2:00pm (Full days)
We do not offer combinations of sessions or ad hoc bookings.
Funding for Children
At Gagle Brook Nursery, we are delighted to be able to offer 15 hours and 30 hours funded childcare to 3 and 4-year-olds. We understand the financial impact nursery can have on families, so we are pleased that the parents of children attending our nursery have access to support funding.
The funding is provided by the government and to find out more, visit the government website by clicking the relevant button below.
For parents who are entitled to 15 hours’ funding but are unable to claim 30 hours’ funding, we are pleased to offer paid-for sessions. The sessions cost £18 subject to availability (a session is an afternoon).
Nursery children are able to select meals provided by the school at lunchtime for an additional cost or they are welcome to bring a packed lunch.
Please note, our wrap around care provider, High Flyers do not offer Breakfast and After School Club for Nursery children.
