"It’s open to every age group and hopefully it will give working parents the ability to use the wrap around care as five can be a push. We might extend it if the need is there.”
As well as this, the school will also be opening up to three-year olds from January following consultation with the school’s Governors and local providers.

Andrew Barber, Headteacher at Hertford Vale C of E Primary School, said: “We’re really pleased with the result from the Ofsted report.
"I think it’s a good reflection of all the hard work that the staff, governors, children, and community put into the school.
"It’s also recognition that despite everything that has happened over the last few years, the community has remained strong and it’s a sense of that the community within Hertford Vale and the surrounding villages is something we’re very proud of and this result from Ofsted is something that celebrates that.”
