Primary school in Langley looks to construct nursery building

A primary school in Langley could be extended, with the additional building to be dedicated to two-year-old nursery children.

Holy Family Catholic Primary School, in Langley High Street, currently tailors to children between the ages of three to 11.

The school is now seeking permission to build a separate nursery building for two-year-olds within the existing car park.

Holy Family Catholic Primary School was awarded Government funding in June last year to offer additional nursery places for children aged two.

This additional provision was introduced in September, but the children have been temporarily accommodated within a building currently used for three-year-old nursery children.

If the erection of a separate nursery building is approved, up to 15 children could be welcomed to the school.

It would operate at the same time as the main school, from 9am to 3pm but the school could also offer childcare during extended hours, from 7.45am to 9am and from 3pm to 5.45pm.

The 70sqm building would include a classroom with a toilet and kitchen facilities.

Currently, the school has a no parking zone during drop off and pick up times, with a separate car park area for staff and visitors.

The existing car park has 29 spaces.

According to an application form submitted to Slough Borough Council, some of these would be lost to make way for the new nursery building but these will be ‘reclaimed’ after a roundabout within the car park is removed.

The existing bin storage area in the car park will also be relocated to the side of the main school building.

On the southern part of the school site, a playing field for sports activities and a designated ‘nature area’ known as The Dell will be retained.
