Admission Procedure and Times

The nursery will, on receipt of a completed application form and a £25 registration fee, place your child on our waiting list and then onto the nursery register when a place becomes available.

Priority is given to the children of working parents who require a full time nursery place. We are a very popular and busy nursery so the length of time on the waiting list will depend on the placement you require and availability.

Prior to your child starting we will arrange for you to visit the nursery for an introduction to the staff and an explanation of routines.

Booking Information

We offer care for babies (3 months to 2 years), tweenies (2 to 3 years) and pre-school (3 to 5 years).

The minimum booking session is two full days. Half day sessions are only available to children over 3 years.

Funded sessions

Government funding is available for pre-school children, which consists of 475 hours of pre-school education in an academic year. Eligibility for pre-school is the term after the childs 3rd birthday. Should you require further information with regards to this please contact the pre-school education department on 01369 708508.
