Applications/New Starts

Applications

We are delighted that you are considering sending your child to join our nursery and look forward to welcoming them into our wider school community. We hope that their time with us will be a happy and exciting journey for them and look forward to working in partnership with you as we support your child in their academic, social and emotional development, helping them become the best they can be. 

Early Years applications can be collected at our school office.  On collection, a member of our Senior Leadership Team or Nursery Team Leader will be on hand to give a guided tour of our nursery setting and answer any questions you may have regarding the application process.  

Children who turn three between August and February 28th the following year, are entitled to a nursery placement from the Monday following his/her third birthday. If your child’s third birthday falls out with these dates, they are entitled to start their nursery placement in August when schools/nurseries return from the summer break.

If your child is already three and needs a nursery place you should apply as soon as possible.
