We are currently working on plans to open a Nursery at the Alvey, for 3 and 4-year-olds, in September 2025. We have carried out various activities, including a formal consultation, which has established there is a local need for a Nursery at the Alvey.  We are also excited about plans to create a new outside area for our Nursery and Reception pupils after we were granted over £100,000. 

We are now at the stage of requesting that parents complete an 'Expression of Interest' form, ready to register their children for September. Please click here:  https://forms.office.com/e/Ntw83d9cRP 

What is my child entitled to?

All three and four-year-old children are entitled to 15 hours of funded nursery education for 38 weeks of the year. This is called the universal offer. 

Some three and four-year old children are entitled to 30 hours funded childcare.  Eligibility is linked to whether parents work, for how many hours and their overall income. If eligible, parents will be entitled to an extra 570 hours of funded childcare a year to use flexibly.

If you would like to find out more about our Nursery, and the William Alvey School in general, please begin by watching the film we have produced (below).

After watching the film, please contact school. We will happily arrange a tour of the Alvey for you. A tour of the school, ideally during school hours, is strongly recommended. It is a great way to get to know the school before making a decision.
