Enrolment for the nursery takes place throughout the nursery year.  Application forms can be obtained from the school office on online. Your child’s birth certificate and proof of address have to be presented. If you wish your child to start nursery in the August term, please ensure your form is completed and submitted to the school office by preceding January. Details of this are given in the local press annually.

When your child is enrolled in nursery, they will be allocated a Key Worker and put in a nursery group. The Key Worker is the main point of contact for your child.

Settling in

On the first day at nursery, parents and children will be gradually introduced to the routine of the nursery session.  Parents are asked to complete their administration form and share information about their child with a member of staff.
