Gwyn Jones Primary School

Welcome to Gwyn Jones Nursery!

We offer morning, afternoon and full time places for our families.

We have 1 teacher and 2 Early Years Professional keyworkers in our setting who play, nurture and support the children in their chosen activities and interests.

We have a free flow routine throughout the session, this enables children to make their own choices and follow their interests in both the indoor area and the garden. We come together on the carpet for singing, stories and 'Star of the Day' before hometime. 

Nursery Hours

Under the Government scheme parents/carers are entitled to an annual free early education and childcare entitlement of 30hrs* per week over 38 weeks per annum, which equates to1140hrs per year.

Our setting operates Monday-Friday 9:15am-3:15pm, offering sessions of 6 hours of childcare per day.

The setting operates during term-time only (38 weeks per annum) and therefore offer the annual free early education and childcare entitlement as 30hrs per week over 38 weeks per annum.

The setting offers places to children from 3 years old until the child reaches statutory school age. 

Working parents/carers who want to just take up their full free early education and childcare hours (30 hours per week*) can do this and are able to take this up over the 5 days.

We also offer parents additional paid hours outside of the FEEE offer from 8:45am – 9:15pm. This is charged at £4.50 per day taken.

Parents are able to request a preference for either session or a full-time place but we cannot guarantee that all preferences will be met. Please note that admission to Gwyn Jones Nursery does not guarantee your child a school place at statutory school age. Application enquiries can be made in the School Office. 

From September 2025 we are introducing a new nursery uniform. 

We have made this decision to ensure that all children are appropriately dressed for the wide range of activities they take part in during the day. As you know, nursery is an active, hands-on environment, and your child will be involved in a variety of physical activities both indoors and outdoors. The new uniform has been carefully selected to support comfort, ease of movement, and safety throughout their day.

For more information on the benefits of active school wear, we encourage you to read the following article from the Youth Sport Trust:

Children will be learning outside in all weathers so please make sure they bring a raincoat and wellies too for those rainy days. In the sunny weather please make sure your child brings a wide brimed sun hat and wears suncream to school.
