Nursery life
Little Habs will be open all year round. The Nursery will be closed at weekends, on all public bank holidays and for 2 weeks over the Christmas period.
Little Habs will provide a flexible year-round offering. There will be two core options:
- Term-time only
- Term-time plus+ (flexibility to book additional weeks during the school holidays, if required)
Should you wish to secure a Term-time plus+ place at Little Habs please do let us know and we would be happy to discuss this with you.
Term-time only
The termly offering will be aligned to the Haberdashers’ Elstree Schools calendar.
Term-time Plus+
Term-time Plus+ will offer parents the core Term-time dates with the flexibility to book additional weeks during Haberdashers’ Elstree Schools holidays (if required).
During the school holidays we will revisit and reinforce key learning from the previous term, helping the children consolidate their skills while continuing to learn through play and exploration.
Nursery Hours
The core nursery hours will be from 8am-3.45pm. We will not be offering half-days.
We know that many families may need support with their children outside the core nursery hours. We will additionally be offering:
- A breakfast session 7.30am-8am
- An after-school session 3.45pm-6pm
Both these sessions can be booked and paid for in advance.
Days
Hablings (6 months – 2 years)
We recommend that babies and toddlers are are enrolled for a minimum of 2 days a week and that this be for two full days. You can of course enrol for more days if you wish to do so.
Dashers (2 – 3 years) and Explorers (3 – 4 years)
To ensure that we nurture all Little Habs children to fulfil their potential, we recommend that children are enrolled full-time (5 days a week) during the term time. Not only will this help them along their developmental journey but also build long-lasting and deep friendships.
