Nursery Admissions
If you are enquiring about a place in our Nursery then please contact school on 01642 471298 where a member of staff will take down you and your child’s details.
You can put your child’s name down at any point before they are 3 years old and we will put their name down on our waiting list.
Children are admitted as soon as a place is available after their third birthday. This is to ensure they benefit from having as much Nursery education as possible.
There is a waiting list of children from both in and out of area. Places are offered on an age basis using the LEA recommended criteria: –
- The child lives in the catchment area of the school
- The child has siblings already in the school
- The child lives out of area
Before your child starts Nursery, you will be contacted by us to arrange a pre start visit.
