Formal attendance data is not recorded for nursery classes as children are not of statutory school attendance age. Article 3 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 applies.

School nursery classes have 3 full time staff, made up of a Nursery Teacher and 2 Nursery officers. Staffing in school Nursery classes is a minimum of 1 staff member to 10 pupils. If the school nursery class capacity is more than 30, additional Nursery Officers are in post to meet the 1:10 ratio.
