Day nurseries

For children under five years. Opening hours can be from 7am to 7pm, though this varies. Your child can attend full or part time.

Nursery schools and nursery classes in primary schools

These are classes for children aged between three and five years old and are attached to a primary or infants school. The classes are run and managed as part of the school, but pupils attending them are not on the roll of the main school.

Open during school hours usually 9am to 3.30pm offering full or half-day sessions. Some offer out of school and holiday care.
