We are delighted that you are considering Little Gems to be an important part of your child’s developmental journey at this critical stage in their learning lives!
Please note that Pre-Nursery children may be registered to attend either 3,4 or 5 days per week. Also note that Pre- Nursery students who begin the academic year on a part time basis cannot be guaranteed extra days later on in the same school year due to availability and to ensure that the optimum student to teacher ratio is maintained. Part time Pre-Nursery children may not be accommodated for special events including school photograph days and parties. They may also miss out on certain activities such as dancing and P.E, as these are scheduled on the same day every week and changed on a per term basis.
