Nursery Applications

SEPTEMBER 2025/2026 APPLICATIONS ARE NOW OPEN

The school welcomes applications from anyone who is willing to support our Catholic ethos and help to promote an inclusive environment. Although we prioritise Catholic children, in the past three years we have admitted non Catholic children to our Nursery classes.

St Philip Howard Catholic School has 2 nursery classes, one provides 15 hours Nursery (every morning) and the other 30 hours Nursery (all day)..

As a school, we also provide wrap around care.

Breakfast Club: 7.30 - 9am (for those attending 15 or 30 hour Nursery)

Lunch Club: 12-1pm (for those attending 15 hour Nursery)

After School Club: 3pm-5.30pm ( for those attending 30 hour Nursery)

Application forms for Nursery are attached. Please return the forms to the school office.

Thank you
