Children's House News and Events
We will be kicking off the Autumn Term with our project ‘All About Me!’
We will be starting off with a very popular project which is perfect for us to learn about your child, and your child to learn about us. Friends old and new will discover each other, and the things that we like and don’t like.

Additional Activities
Zoolabs Workshops
Our children love the opportunity to handle and learn about a whole host of exotic creatures, from the furriest to the slimiest.
Blast Sports Coaching
Our sports coach Scott will be continuing to provide the extremely popular Blast Sports sessions for all of our children.
Song and Dance with Claire
Our fantastic dance teacher Claire provides energetic dance classes on a weekly basis. These classes have already proved to be extremely popular with our children and are excellent for developing self confidence, co-ordination, an early love of music and rhythm.
House of Maths
Barney is proud to present the House Of Maths – exciting shows crammed full of maths and fun enough to be talked about for weeks afterwards.

Early Education Funding

Children’s House Hours, Fees and Holidays
We are open 8.30am to 6.00pm Monday to Friday 48 weeks per year with 2 weeks closure at Christmas and 2 weeks closure in August.
The school also closes for bank holidays.
We offer a two-tier system of attendance to cater both for parents seeking Term-time only of 39 weeks p.a. and also for parents requiring Full-time attendance of 48 weeks p.a.
Rushcombe School
Many of the children who attend with us go on to graduate to Rushcombe 1st School. The school provides opportunities for our children to become familiar with their reception class teachers who spend time with the school leavers in nursery, and we are often invited to Rushcombe events such as their Christmas carol service. We have a dress up box in nursery with the Rushcombe school uniform so our children become familiar with the clothes they will wear at big school.
Adverse Weather
We have an adverse weather policy in place to ensure our nursery is prepared for all weather conditions that might affect the running of the nursery such as floods and snow.
In any of these circumstances the nursery will close when the Headteacher at Rushcombe School deems it necessary to close the school due to adverse weather.
