In February, West Rise Infant School Nursery moved into new premises attached to a children's centre on the school site. It now offers full daycare, and is open 48 weeks of the year, from 8am until 6pm. Head teacher Lynne Weir says the nursery is very much part of the school and is committed to the EYFS, viewing it as an important building-block.
'Formerly a local pre-school, the nursery moved to our school site in 2005, where it stayed until this year in a mobile classroom,' Lynne says.
'We are now able to offer full daycare for up to 30 children per session and have space for up to seven children from birth to age two. Alongside daycare we offer sessional care, with or without breakfast or lunch.'
