Fostering in Hillingdon
Mon 16 May 2022Foster Care Fortnight 2022
Foster Care Fortnight (9th to 22nd May) is a national campaign which raises awareness and understanding about fostering and the positive influence it can have on young people's lives. The campaign hopes to build support for fostering, challenge stigma surrounding children in foster care and encourage more people to come forward to foster.
Hillingdon Council's fostering team is looking for people who can provide different types of fostering and is encouraging people to consider fostering or raise awareness among family and friends.
People from all backgrounds can foster, the minimum age is 25, and a spare bedroom is needed for any child fostered over the age of 2. We support and guide you in the fostering role and you receive a generous allowance, among other benefits.
Want to find out more about fostering?

Nursery 30 hours provision from September 2022
Mon 09 May 2022From September 2022, Minet Nursery School will be offering 30 hours provision. All children from the age of three are entitled to 15 hours per week in Nursery but some children may be entitled to attend the Nursery on the full time basis (30 hours per week) for free. To see if you are entitled for the 30 hours provision, please check your eligibility on GOV.UK. If you are eligible, you will receive an 11-digit code which you must give to the school. Once the school has received this code and the admissions process has been completed, you child will be able to start our Nursery when the 30 hours is available from September 2022.
If your child is not entitled to free 30 hours provision but you would like them to attend for 30 hours per week, you can top up their hours for a fee of £6.00 per hour with the first 15 hours being free of charge.
Part-time places will also still be available for children attending the Nursery for 15 hours per week in a morning or afternoon session.
Please contact the school for further information or to sign up your child to our Nursery on a full time or part time basis by emailing:

Changes to school open hours from September 2022
Tue 03 May 2022Changes to school opening times from September 2022
Dear parents/carers,
After consulting with parents/ carers, the new opening times for Reception and Key Stage One have been finalised for September 2022. The new school opening times will be 8.40am to 3.10pm with an 8.30am soft start. Please note this will begin in September when children will return from the Summer holidays on Monday 5th September 2022. All children will be expected to be in class by 8.40am each morning and children arriving after this time will be recorded as ‘late.’ Gates will open each morning at 8.30am and children will be able to come into class from 8.30am each morning as part of soft start. In the meantime, the school opening hours will remain 9.00am – 3.00pm with an 8.40am soft start.
The new opening hours have been agreed by the governing body and will ensure the school is in line with new government opening hours requirements.
Please feel free to contact the school if you have any questions.
