Funded Nursery Education in Studley, Warwickshire
Funded Nursery Education in Studley, WarwickshireDo you have a 3 or 4 year old?
It is a fact that many children who have experienced childcare will have an easier transition when they move into school. As they have already had opportunities to express themselves and to socialise through a range of creative, physical, emotional and social play opportunities, they will be more confident in interacting with other children and different adults. Funded Nursery Education at our Studley nursery can help with this.
By accessing a flexible funded nursery place you could:
- Go back to work with affordable childcare
- Get a break from being a mum, dad or carer for a few hours each day
- Increase your work hours and still afford the childcare
- Get help when you’re worried about your child’s progress
- Have trained childcare professionals to talk to
- See your child get used to playing with other children and make friends
- Meet other families (especially if you are new to the area)
