ADMISSIONS TO OUR NURSERY

Children are eligible for a place in our nursery when they are 3 years old.  We admit children to our Nursery in September of each year.

We can offer your child 15 hours per week, which is free, and is split over 5 days at 3 hours per day.  We do not offer full days (30 hours).

Our nursery session times are 8.30am – 11.30am for the morning session and 12.30pm – 3.30pm for the afternoon session.

If you wish for your child to join our Nursery, they are required to be 3 years old by 31st August, you should visit the school office between 9am – 3pm Monday to Thursday to register.  We can put your child on our waiting list when they become 2 years old.

You are required to bring the following documents to register:

  • Child’s original birth certificate (copies will not be accepted)
  • Three proofs of address – Mortgage/Rent Statement/Tenancy Agreement, Council Tax Bill, Bank Statement, Utility Bill (driving licence is not acceptable proof)

Children are admitted to the Nursery in the following priority order:

  • Looked after children (adopted/fostered etc)
  • Siblings
  • Date of birth
  • If two children have the same date of birth, priority will be given to the child who lives nearest to the school.
