Little Herons Pre School at Robert Mellors Primary Academy

Overview

Our fantastic brand new Pre School provision caters for 2- 4 year olds in a purpose built building.

We provide education and care for 2-4 year olds. We have places for children who are entitled to 2 year funding and we also offer 30 hours funded places. We are able to offer flexibility for working parents with our sessions available during term time.

Children can access the following sessions:

8:50am - 11:50am or 12:15pm - 3:15pm

Before and after school care and holiday care is provided by Limetrees (please see separate details). Our children entitled to 30 hours funding are able to access full days (8:50-3:15) with lunctime sessions paid for separately in our popular lunch club.

Little Herons Pre School is situated close to the award winning Foundation Stage unit at Robert Mellors Primary School. Working closely together, we aim to provide an outstanding provision for all the children we care for. Our amazing learning environment is highly regarded in Nottingham and many other schools and settings come to visit. The Pre School will be fully resourced to create a homely, relaxed and inspiring environment for your child to learn in. Visits to the pre school and school are warmly welcomed. The close proximity and working with the school Nursery mean that there is a seamless transition to the school nursery and Reception class.
