The Nursery Department at Colchester High School is open from 7.15am to 6pm every day of the week during term time and for 51 weeks of the year.
In term time, we offer wraparound care to provide you with a flexible choice for dropping off and collecting your child. This wraparound care takes place in the Nursery and includes breakfast and afternoon tea. All children are looked after between 3.00 pm and 3.30 pm free of charge. Breakfast is only served until 8am.
Outside of term time, we continue to offer nursery provision throughout the day from 8.00 am to 5 pm.
