Opening Times

Salisbury Villas opens at 7:30am and closes at 6pm. 

For our Nursery pupils there is no requirement for your child to attend particular hours. You are charged for the full day but you can drop off and collect your child whenever you need to. 

For our Early Years Pupils drop off is between 8:00-8:20am. A member of staff will greet your child at the main entrance and will accompany them to their classroom. For parents who wish to drive, we also operate a kiss and drop service. A member of staff will be available on the driveway to help your child exit the car and enter the building where they will be accompanied by the office staff to their classroom. 

We also have a Breakfast Club and Late Stay Provision at Salisbury Villas.

Arrival at the Nursery

Please enter the Salisbury Villa site via the main entrance. These are the white doors located to the left of the building. 

If someone different is collecting your child and they are listed on your emergency contacts and you have introduced them to your child’s key person they will just need to inform the key person of your child’s password. 

If you need to make arrangements for someone different to collect your child the day while your child is at the Nursery please email the Early Years administrators on eyfs@stephenperse.com and they will ensure this information is passed on to your child’s key person.

If you contact us to inform us that someone different is collecting your child that is not listed on your emergency contacts or they have not been introduced to the key person then they will need to show the key person photographic identification and inform the key person of your child’s password. 

Please ensure your child’s password is logged in the ‘All about me’ pages of your child’s Tapestry account.

Supervision of children in the Nursery

1-2 year olds

Within the baby room there is 1 adult for every three babies. They key person is responsible for having an in-depth knowledge of your child’s needs and stages of development and they are responsible for working in partnership with you as parents. 

2-3 year olds

In the toddler room there is 1 adult for every 4 toddlers.

Reception and Kindergarten

Children in the Reception and Kindergarten classes are supervised at all times either by the early years staff or members of the Stephen Perse Foundation staff according to early years ratios whilst on the school premises.

Our Nursery staff follow a two week rota pattern and so they may not always be present when you drop off or collect your child. If your child’s key person is not available at pick up and drop off time please do feel free to speak to any other member of staff about your child and they will ensure the information is shared with the key person.

There is always a member of the Early Years Senior Leadership team on our Nursery sites. All Nursery staff are known by their first names, when children move into Kindergarten the staff are known by their formal title.
