Do the buses leave before the development hour clubs?
Our minibus timetables take development hour into account and buses leave afterwards.
My child needs transport. Are there spaces?
St Joseph’s transport is available once the child is old enough to operate their own seat belt. Students are welcome to travel on one of our St Jo’s minibuses for which additional fees will apply, apart from if your child is using our complimentary bus shuttle service to and from the train station.
Will my child need to wear a uniform?
The only extras needed for St Jo’s Nursery are wellies, waterproofs and a sense of adventure for our mud kitchen and 60-acre grounds. Little St Jo’s red sweatshirts are available to buy – but these are optional.
