The Alphabet House Nursery School Gallions

Care from three months is the defining practical fact at The Alphabet House Nursery School Gallions. Its age range runs from three to 60 months, with capacity for 88 children in total. That is a whole-nursery figure, rather than the size of any individual room or group.

No Ofsted inspection has been published for this setting yet.

The EYFS provides the educational framework: it guides the planning of learning activities suited to children's ages. It is the baseline for provision here, rather than an additional programme that distinguishes Gallions from other nurseries.

The age span makes this a choice for families considering care from infancy through the years before school. For parents comparing provision for siblings of different ages, that breadth is a useful starting point; it should not be read as a description of how children are grouped during the day.

For a baby starting at three months, daily care will weigh heavily in the decision. Education is only part of what a family needs from provision at this age. The useful distinction is between the nursery's overall age range and the arrangements a particular child will experience.

Sessions and Attendance

Opening hours are 8am to 6pm on weekdays. The nursery operates across the year, with closures for bank holidays, Christmas and staff training days. For working families, the opening window provides a practical basis for comparing childcare with their working day; the closures also need a place in the family calendar.

• Starting in infancy. Children are accepted from three months. How are settling, sleep and daily updates organised for a baby of that age?
• Whole-setting size. The nursery has capacity for 88 children in total. Use that figure to understand the scale of the setting, rather than as a measure of your child's daily group.
• Closure planning. Year-round operation includes Christmas, bank-holiday and staff-training closures. Families relying on weekday care need to account for those breaks.

Gallions suits families seeking year-round weekday provision within an 8am-to-6pm opening window, including those considering an early start in childcare. Its broad age range is the clearest reason to consider it. The decision should centre on the care arrangements that matter to your child's age and your family's routine.
