St John’s Nursery offers high quality early learning and childcare (ELC) for children aged between 3 – 5 years. We places are allocated in line with Inverclyde Council’s Admissions Policy.

The application period for 3-5 years opens at the start of term in January each year.  An application form must be completed and submitted to your first choice establishment along with proof of your residing address (in the form of council tax invoice) and proof of your child’s date of birth in the form of your child’s birth certificate. ELC establishments will not accept your application form if you do not produce the proof at the time of submission.

Forms must be submitted by the last day in February each year to be presented at the Annual Admissions Panel which sit around April / May.  Any forms received after the last day in February will be classed as a late application and will be presented at the Post Admissions Panel in August.

Children are entitled to 1140 hours of ELC pro rata depending on their birth date. The table below outlines our Admission Intake Timeline which follows Inverclyde Council’s Admissions Policy
