PORTCHESTER DAY NURSERY

---

We are pleased to confirm that we were judged as 'GOOD' with an area of 'Outstanding' for personal development, behaviour and wellbeing. 

"The managers, and many of the staff, are very experienced practitioners who work as a highly effective team. Over the years, they have constantly evaluated and improved the combined settings to raise the standards of care and learning for children in the community".  Ofsted November 2022

FUNDING 

 To find out about the Early Years Funding available, including Early Years Education Grant and tax free childcare, please visit www.childcarechoices 

 SNOW DAYS/EXTREME WEATHER

Please check the website in the event of extreme weather to see if we are able to open.

Snow days will still be charged at the normal rate.  This is due to our running costs and overheads still having to be paid.  However, where possible during the period of the time that your child is at our setting, we will always try to offer additional sessions to compensate for the missed sessions.  These sessions will be given when available.  Please refer to the payment policy for more information.

PARENT/GRANDPARENT VOLUNTEERS

We are always in need of an extra pair of hands!  If you or you know of someone that is willing to give up a few hours a week, then we'd love to hear from you.  Some of the activities we need help with are:

Gardening

DIY and decorating

Looking after on site animals

Having fun with the children!

For more information, please speak to a member of staff.  Please note all volunteers will be subject to employment checks and DBS. 

PARENTS/CARERS - Please be aware of our payment policy that all parents/carers must adhere to when attending one of our childcare settings.
