Nursery Admissions & Uniform
We have a nursery setting at St Joseph’s offering 15 hours of free childcare. This is 3 hours each morning from 8.45-11.45, Monday – Friday. We can also offer places to Rising 3s in the term after the child’s 3rd birthday (subject to availability).
30 hours of free childcare is offered in partnership with Farlea Childcare, who operate out of our nursery classroom each afternoon. 15 hours is offered by St Joseph’s each morning with the additional 15 hours by Farlea Childcare.
Our nursery class is staffed by one qualified teacher and a teaching assistant.
Pupils are admitted to Nursery in the September following their third birthday. Applications for entry in September 2025 open on 15 January 2025. Please complete and return by 31 March 2025.
Additional intakes are held in January and Easter each year, provided that there are spaces available.
If you have any questions with regard to your child starting in our nursery, please contact us on office@st-josephs-hednesford.staffs.sch.uk or telephone 01543 227225.
Parents who are considering sending their child or children to St Joseph’s Catholic Nursery can contact Helen Edge, the School Bursar, who will explain the admission arrangements.
Parents are encouraged to look round the school and talk to the Headteacher, before coming to a decision; this can be arranged through the school.
Parents must make a separate application for admission to Reception at the appropriate time.
