1 Nursery Provision of Early Years & Childcare for RAF Wittering and RAF Wyton
  • Value: £0

The below provides a brief illustration of the current provision and operational delivery of the nursery sites. Please note this is an illustration and detail can be subject to change. There will be scope to work with each station to adapt the operational delivery and outputs of the setting to meet the needs of service families and the station’s statement of requirements. RAF Wittering The nursery operates out of a purpose-built nursery that is located outside of the wire at RAF Wittering, St. Michaels Road, Peterborough, PE8 6DW. The nursery is open Mon – Fri from 07.30 – 18.00 for 51 days of the year providing up to 100 places for children aged 0-5 years, including an offer of full, half day and sessional options to meet the needs of service families living and working at RAF Wittering. There are currently 121 children on roll. There are 15 staff employed to work with the children. Where capacity permits and is identified additional provision including wraparound childcare and holiday provision for 4 - 11 years should be provided. This is needed to support the workforce of RAF Wittering (Military, Civil Servants, and Contractors) and to also deliver childcare support to the wider local community. RAF Wyton The nursery operates out of a purpose-built building outside the wire at RAF Wyton, Wiltshire Road, Huntingdon PE28 2EX. The nursery is open Mon – Fri from 07.30 to 18.00, 51 weeks of the year providing up to 78 places for children aged 0-5 years, including an offer of full, half day and sessional options to meet the needs of service families living and working at RAF Wyton. There are currently 88 children on roll. There are 20 staff employed to work with the children. The nursery accepts funding to provide free early education for children aged two, three and four years. Wraparound childcare and holiday provision (4 - 11 years) has been identified as a requirement where capacity permits. This would ideally be reinstated to support the workforce of RAF Wyton (Military, Civil Servants, and Contractors) and to also deliver childcare support to the wider local community.
