Nursery
Our Nursery
Rushton Nursery is part of a small, rural school on the edge of the Staffordshire Moorlands.
We seek to provide a safe, stimulating environment, caring for the individual child and providing a happy atmosphere for playing and learning.
The values of Respect, Empathy, Aspiration and Courage are encouraged, leading the child to become a valued member of the community.
Nursery Times
Nursery opens from 8.30am and closes at 3.00pm. Wraparound care is available from 8.00am - 5.10pm.
Children can attend from the term they turn 3 years old. We are flexible in the sessions and hours children can attend but our general morning and afternoon sessions are:
- Morning: 8.30am-12pm
- Afternoon: 1pm-3pm
- Lunchtime: 12pm-1pm
Children are welcome to have their lunch at school if attending morning or afternoon sessions. Children can opt for a school dinner at £2.85 or bring a packed lunch.
All children are eligible for 15 hours FREE funding and this takes effect from the term after they turn 3 years old. We also have spaces available for parents wishing to use the 30 hours funded childcare for those parents who meet the criteria. More information about this can be found at Staffordshire EEF.
Additional sessions are charged at £4.50 per hour.

We recommend you and your child come along and visit our nursery class during the day.
We also host a monthly stay and play session every last Tuesday of the month from 10.30-11.30. This is an opportunity to come along and see our nursery in action whilst your child plays.
