Marpool Nursery
MPS Nursery is led by Lead TAs, Claire Partridge and Isha Johns, supported by Keyworker Amanda Chubb, and work very closely with Early Years Phase Leader, Hannah James, and Deputy Phase Leaders, Amy Harris and Laura Mercy. They are also overseen by the Reception teachers,
Laura Spillings and Zoe Thornton, forming our very successful Early Years Foundation Stage team.
The Nursery team delivers learning experiences and opportunities to the children following our outstanding Early Years curriculum, which is continued through into the Reception class, providing progression matched to each child’s developmental stage to five years.

NURSERY TEACHER
Our Nursery provides a wide range of enriching opportunities and experiences to encourage our school's youngest children to develop their natural curiosity and meet individual needs to further support development, both indoors and in our fantastic outdoor area.
Session Times
Our Nursery sessions run from:
- 9:00am to 12:00pm (morning session)
- 12:00 to 3:00pm (afternoon session)
Children who are attending a morning session need to be collected at 12:00pm. Children who are attending an afternoon session will need to be dropped off at the School Reception and collected at 3:00pm from the Nursery classroom.
Lunch
Lunch times are part of the education of the Nursery children as it is a great opportunity to teach key personal, social and emotional development skills. The children are therefore able to eat their lunch at the end of the morning session at 11:30am (or they can eat at home with you), or at the beginning of the afternoon session when they arrive at 12:00pm. We offer Nursery children the chance to become part of our School Dining Club, where you can purchase in advance between one and five lunches per week. The current menu can be viewed here on the main TCAT website (under the dining tab) and we send out the next term’s menu choices at the end of the previous term. Alternatively, your child can bring in a packed lunch from home.
Charges
Our current hourly rates are:
- £5.30 for 3 and 4 year olds
How to Pay
Invoices for any unfunded hours are sent out at the beginning of every term and are paid through our ‘Wisepay’ system, which is accessible here.
We also accept employer’s childcare vouchers and tax free child care payments.
Should you have any questions about funding or payments our admin team would be more than happy to discuss this with you.
