Update on the Baby Unit

We are delighted to inform you that the Governors have decided to go aheadwith our Baby Unit. This is a lengthy process with a number of procedures we need to complete. In the first instance after our initial expression of interests we must send out a  Consultation letter.

Alongside this we must apply to Ofsted to register as a section 47 baby unit provision. This has now been completed and we have our pre registration visit on 10th May 2024.

The old office has now been fully refurbished and we are currently purchasing all of the furniture and equipment in order to be ready for our pre-registration visit.  Given this information we are very much hoping to be open for the 1st September. We are therefore tentatively opening our booking forms. Please note this is with an undertsanding that the baby unit may NOT be open for September, however we will try our very best to push this through and we will keep you updated. We will have more information after the 10th May.

We will have 6 spaces for 9month-2yr olds in each session.

Please see the  Admission policy for Bowerham Baby Unit for our draft admissions policy.
