Children are admitted to Nursery as and when places become available throughout the year if they reach the required age and we have that space available.  We use the following criteria when allocating available spaces:-

• Availability of spaces, taking into account the staff/child ratios, the age of the child and the registration requirements.

• When the application is received (extra weight is given to those who have been on the waiting list the longest)

• The nursery’s ability to provide appropriate care for the welfare of each individual child.

• A child requiring a full-time place may have preference over one requiring a part-time place. This is dependent upon work commitments, occupancy and room availability.

• Extenuating circumstances affecting the child's welfare or the welfare of his/her family.

• Children who have siblings who are already with us.

• We operate an inclusion and equality policy and ensure that children have access to nursery places and services, irrespective of gender, race, religion, colour or creed.

  ​

  Prior to a child attending nursery, parents/carers must complete and sign a registration form.  These forms provide the nursery with personal details relating to the child. For example, name, date of birth, address, emergency contact details, dietary requirements, collection arrangements, fees and sessions, contact details for parents/carers, doctor’s contact details, health visitor contact details, allergies, parental consent, vaccinations etc.

Below is our Registration Form for you to complete if you wish to begin the registration process.  A registration fee of £10 is payable. The registration fee is non-refundable and is to assist with the administration of our waiting list and space allocation for your child.  Please contact us when you complete a registration form for details of how to pay the registration fee.  Fully funded children do not need to provide a registration fee.  This is part of government guidelines for fair access to all children.
