Opening times:

The Nursery and Preschool is open Monday to Friday, term time only from 9am to 3pm and excluding all bank holidays. We follow the term dates set out by Gloucestershire County Council and we endeavour to ensure that Inset days are in line with St Thomas More Catholic Primary School.  We reserve the right to either open or close on any additional public holidays.  

In the event of an unexpected closure due to bad weather, or other unplanned event, alternative pre-funded sessions will not be offered.
