If your child attends nursery for 30 hours, you have the option to book a school meal via the Arbor portal at a cost of £2.95 per day (25-26 academic year charges).
Reception Class
For those children who attend our Nursery, they must apply for a place in Reception through Oxfordshire County Council by completing the online form. These applications are dealt with between November – January before children are due to start the Reception class. We cannot guarantee a place in the Reception class so we urge you to get applications in on time and always state the three schools you would like your child to attend in order of preference.
