Opening Hours
The Kindergarten aims to be as flexible as possible to fit in with parents, family and work requirements. It is open from 8.25am until 3.45pm, Monday to Friday, and there is a flexible morning drop off until 8.45am. Wrap around care is available until 6.00pm at an additional cost.
In order to benifit from the activities organised in the Kindergarten and to assist with settling in and confidence building, we recommend five sessions per week. Sessions can be booked on a full day basis or half day basis.
Full day and morning sessions include lunchtime (we ask parents to prepare a packed lunch).

Free Entitlement Funding:
St Margaret’s is a registered provider of the Nursery Education Grant. Please note, the fees quoted above do not take the free nursery entitlement funding into account.
We are currently able to offer parents a maximum of five free entitlement sessions per week for a maximum of 36 weeks per year. Each session must be two and a half hours long and must be taken in school term time.
One entitlement session can be used during the morning session and two entitlement sessions can be used if your child is staying for a full day.
* Morning - free entitlement session runs from 9.00am-11.30am
** Afternoon - free entitlement session runs from 1.00pm-3.30pm
Additional hours booked outside the free entitlement sessions and wrap-around care are charged separately.
Children are entitled to a grant from the term following their 3rd birthday until the term in which they have their 5th birthday.
