Admission Procedure – Nursery Class

Our Nursery provides education for children between 2 and 4 years of age.

For 3 year olds –

In England all three and four year olds are entitled to up to 15 hours of funded early education and childcare a week for up to 38 weeks a year. This is to give children the opportunity to take part in planned learning activities, and help prepare them for school through the early learning goals set out in the Early Years Foundation Stage. This is a universal offer and is available to all children regardless of their family circumstances.

Children are normally able to join the nursery class in the term following their third birthday. We aim to offer the children in nursery at least three terms of nursery education prior to entry into reception classes of a mainstream school.

We do offer limited places for the free 30 hours extended offer. To check your eligibility please follow these links:
