All Day Nursery Provision

At Hillcross Primary School our Nursery is open from 8.30am to 3.00pm. We offer families the option of full time nursery provision. Please refer to our Flexible Nursery Offer page for information on how to access this. 

For parents who also need childcare before and after school, we have our own breakfast and after school club called ‘The Copse’ which operates 7.30am until 8.45am and 3.15pm until 6pm.  There is an additional cost for this service.  Please click on the link in the right hand drop down box on this page for more information.

Accessing a full time place in our school nursery has a number of benefits which include:

• Access to provision that is led by fully qualified teachers – this has had a very positive impact on outcomes for children.
• Fewer transitions between providers during the day providing continuity and consistency in approach.
• Enabling an easier transition from nursery to full time education when they join Reception.

If we are over subscribed for all day nursery places, they will be allocated using the below criteria:

• Existing nursery children with a 15 hour universal place
• Looked after children
• Children with a sibling in attendance at the main school
• Child of a staff member
• Distance to school from home address

These offers are available term time only, however, we do provide a holiday club for children who attend our school. 

If you have any questions with regard to an all day nursery place at Hillcross for your child, please speak to one of our School Business Officers, by calling the schools main number or emailing her info@hillcross.merton.sch.uk.
