“The Nursery and Reception classes are well led and managed. Staff in these classes work closely together, with a shared understanding of how children learn effectively. This results in good transition arrangements which help children to settle quickly .”

Welcome to Fledglings

Fledglings Early Years Centre is based in Cotford St Luke Primary School. Fledglings are managed by the school governors and Head Teacher. Day to day management is by Rebecca Batten (Manager).

We offer childcare for children from 2 years old and we offer full day care and sessional care from 7:30am to 5:30pm, 5 days a week for 38 weeks of the year.

We offer all children a breakfast club from 7:30am to 8:45am.

Pre-school sessions are from 8:45am to 3:15pm and after school care is from 3:15pm to 5:30pm.

We have 5 inset days across the year for staff training when we are closed.

We have 2 dedicated areas called Swifts (2 year olds) and Swallows (3 year olds) and a big sole use garden for all our children to use.

We enjoy using the facilities in the school too. We use the garden area to the side of Fledglings which includes a lovely big mound for our children to play on. We have a weekly hall slot, we use the iPads, we can use the school playground.

We join in with all the school celebrations such as Remembrance Day, Christmas performances and Sports Day. 

The set of doors from Fledglings open into the Reception class and when it is safe to do so we have open doors so the Swallows and Oak Class (Reception) children can chose where they would like to play and learn.

Food Hygiene Rating 

We are very pleased to announce that, in November 2023, we were awarded a 5* Hygiene Rating from the Food Standards Agency - we are delighted with this outcome.
