What’s an ad hoc session?

An ad hoc session is a one-off nursery session. They become available because of the dynamic nature of the number of children in the nurseries. It could be because children may be moving from one room to another, children are leaving for school or whilst we wait for new starters to begin.

They’re really useful when you need a one-off extra nursery session that you don’t need to commit to long-term! Sometimes we know well in advance that they’ll be available and sometimes they’ll be at short notice.

Not all these spaces are offered for ad hoc sessions – sometimes they’re used first for staff training but when we can, we offer them to existing families in our nurseries on a first come, first served basis.

Weekly ad hoc sessions

The admissions team sends out a weekly email to parents with the sessions that have become available at short notice for the coming week – so look out for it!

Advance ad hoc sessions

We sometimes have longer-term ad hoc sessions that will be available 3–12 weeks in advance.

For example, you know you’ve got a day trip planned, or a short freelance contract coming up, or you’re starting a short course and as a result, you need some additional nursery sessions on a short-term basis – these advance ad hoc sessions might be useful for some extra cover.

So if you’d like to find out about these advance sessions then get in touch with the Admissions team to see what they have available.

Please note all ad hoc sessions whether weekly or advance are subject to availability.
