Joining Nursery

If you are looking for setting that will nurture your child in a fun, caring and engaging environment, we would love to welcome you to Millbank Gardens Nursery! We know that each child is unique, and so we give each child personalised support to allow them to have fun, make friends and explore the world around them. Our experienced staff are highly skilled at guiding children to learn through play, giving them excellent foundations for Reception and beyond.

Children are welcome to attend our Nursery from their third birthday. Our Nursery is open during school term times. Children typically attend either for the full day (from 8.50am to 3.15pm) or during the mornings (8.50am to 12.00pm). However, we are also able to offer some places each year for children to attend during the afternoons (12.15pm to 3.15pm).

Finding out more and applying

We are always happy to meet or to speak to prospective families, and to show them our wonderful facilities, including our new Nursery playground. To arrange a visit or if you have any questions, please telephone Mrs Delaney on 020 3262 0068 or email admissions@millbankgardens.futureacademies.org.

To apply, parents are asked to complete the application form below and return it to the school office. A paper copy is, of course, available from the office. To secure a place at our Nursery, we advise applying at least six months in advance. However, places are sometimes available at shorter notice.

Fees

All children are entitled to attend either a morning or afternoon session each day without charge (by using the ’15 hours code’). If you would like your child to attend for the full day, the fees are £2,042.50 for a full academic year. However, there is no charge if you are entitled for free childcare because you are working. To find out if you are entitled, please visit the website here; alternatively, please do contact us and we will be happy to advise you. 

Wrap-around care

We are always happy to discuss with parents the possibility of Nursery-aged children attending our wraparound care. A good number of children do each year, and they have a wonderful time. However, to ensure that children have a positive experience, it is important for us to agree first with parents whether children are ready for this longer day.
