Foundation One (Nursery)
At Chapel Allerton Primary we aim to develop children who have a lifelong love of learning and we would be delighted for your child to begin their learning journey with us.

If you would like to add your child to our waiting list, please e-mail your child’s full name and date of birth and your name, address and contact telephone number to d.harris@chapelallertonprimary.co.uk. If you would like to arrange a visit, please e-mail with a date/time that would suit you.
Thank you for your interest in Foundation One – we hope to see you in school soon!
Further Information Regarding 30 Hours Provision
All Nursery age children qualify for 15 hours of free childcare, but you may be aware that the Government has extended the offer of free childcare to 30 hours for the children of working parents. At Chapel Allerton Primary, we have also decided to offer 30 hours to families who are not eligible but would like to pay for the sessions.
30 Hours - Free
For a child to qualify for the extended entitlement free of charge they must fulfil the following criteria.
Both parents are working or the sole parent is working and earns on average:
Families where one parent does not work (or neither parent works) will not be eligible.
30 Hours - Paying
For families who don’t qualify, children can attend F1 for the 30 hours by paying a fee of £75/week. This must be paid half termly in advance. More details will follow if you chose this option.
Parents may also be interested in wraparound care (before and after the school day). We are delighted to have Children’s Corner, who are based in our Dining Hall. They provide care from 7.30am and up until 6.00pm and can be contacted on 07510 841 859.
