Nursery admissions

Please click here to complete a nursery application form. We will also require a copy of your child’s birth certificate (full one if possible) for us to photocopy. Your child will then be added to the waiting list. Places can be allocated from their 3rd birthday depending on availability. Part time (15 hours) and full time places are available. Full time (30 hours) can be used with the government funding or you can also 'top up' by paying for the additional 15 hours yourself.  For more information, please call the school office who will be happy to help you.
