It has been the Government’s policy since 2015 to add nursery provision to primary schools that don’t yet have one, if possible. This has been a feature of successive capital programmes.
The Les Landes Nursery project has been allocated £1.05m for 2022 in the next Government Plan and a further £773,000 in 2023.
The Government said that the addition of a nursery at Les Landes “will provide continuity for families, as children move from nursery to reception, and was overwhelmingly supported by the Parish Assembly.”
