St John’s Nursery offers high quality early learning and childcare (ELC) for children aged between 3 – 5 years. If you wish to apply for a 3 – 5 year ELC place an application form must be completed and submitted to your first choice establishment, along with proof of your residing address (in the form of a council tax invoice) and proof of your child’s date of birth (birth certificate or passport). ELC establishments will not accept your application if you do not produce proof at the time of submission.

Forms must be submitted after your child’s 2^nd birthday and before the last day in February to be presented at the Annual Admissions Panel which sits 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 which sits 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
