Does anyone know anything about the application procedure for school nurseries please and also how I can find out any information about hours - when we viewed goose green for reception places the headteacher mentioned something about longer nursery hours but I can't see anything on the website. Any info would be much appreciated. Thanks
As far as I'm aware Goose Green have now changed to doing full days instead of having a morning group and an afternoon group. I think this helps prepare them slightly more for the transition into reception class. I know a few kids who have been to GG and both them and their parents have been really happy.
Do you know what 'full days' are in this context please? I had a look on the website but I couldn't find anything. Do you know how this works re funded places as I understood the funding to be for 15 hours for 3 year olds at present?

A number of the school nurseries now offer a "full" day - so you can do 2.5 full days, or 5 half days using your 15 free hours. Goodrich (where my youngest attends nursery) offer a top up, where you pay to add extra hours for the week.


A full day is a school day, so (will very slightly from school to school) from 9 till 3/3:30ish.

The new Goose Green hours for nursery are 8.45-3.45 (they take a packed lunch) Monday & Tues, then 8.45-11.45 on Weds, for the first class. The second class do the reverse - so Weds afternoon, and then 8.45-3.45 for Thurs & Fri. I think as Pickle says Goodrich offer, that GG also offer top up for a fee.


My son has just started at GG nursery and he (and we) are really happy.

    • I mean these people always have the choice to, you know, move.
    • Those 5 bedrooms are all tiny though. Even the largest of the master bedrooms in these old jerry built houses are often no larger than 15 square metres. For context the minimum size for a two man prison cell is 8.5 square metres.  It's hardly palatial luxury being offered round here. And after you've paid £155,000 in tax to buy the house, and another £3000 a year to the council to empty your bins twice a month, this greedy government is coming after you now taxing you what amounts to another 12.5% of the value of your home every ten years. 
    • There is nothing in the budget to promote growth, which is what we desperately need. The wealthiest pay more already, with the higher rate tax. I’m sure they can afford £7.5k but we need to encourage successful people and business to invest and stay in the country. 
    • I went to a girls' public day  school in the fifties and sixties. The first school rule was "courtesy and consideration to others are expected at all times".  There was quite a high number of Jewish girls, both in the junior and senior school. I don't recall a single incident of anti-Semitism. Is this something confined to boys' schools, or was my school unusual?
