Nursery Procedures – September 2025

Tuesday 2nd September – Nursery and Reception induction sessions between 1.00pm-4.00pm.

Nursery session times are not compulsory therefore if you have siblings higher up the school you are able to drop off/collect at the sibling’s time if required.

Parking – Please do not park in Picknalls Lane when dropping off or pickning up your children. You may park, for free, on Uttoxeter Leisure Centre’s car park during the following times:

  • 8:20am-9:15am

  • 15:10pm-15:45pm

If you use the leisure centre car park outside of these hours you must purchase a ticket from the ticket machines on the car park, or you may be fined. Please continue to adhere to the rules with parking by the leisure centre in order that we do not lose this invaluable facility.

Arbor Parent Portal and App – Primary guardians will be able to log into Arbor which we use for:

  • Booking school meals – Please remember to order the meal you would like your child to have each day and pay on Arbor meals. Please ensure you order these the night before at the latest. If you have not ordered your child’s choice of food they will be given a jacket potato.

  • Paying for meals, trips and clubs

  • Communication – we regularly send messages via the app to priority 1 parents and emails

  • Attendance – you will be able to see your child’s attendance % for the current academic year

  • Updating information – including contact details, dietary and medical needs

  • Booking Parents’ Evening appointments

If you need any help accessing any features of Arbor please contact the school office or visit the Arbor Support Centre
