NURSERY ADMISSION 2018/19

Applications for free nursery places in session 2019/19 can now be submitted.  Children attending nursery establishments in North Lanarkshire are eligible to start nursery in line with the following:-

• Children who reach three years of age between 1st March 2018 and 15th August 2018 can start nursery on 16th August 2018.

• Children who reach three years of age between 16th August 2018 and 28th February 2019 can start nursery the day after their third birthday.

Applications for children due to start nursery at any time in session 2018/19 should be completed and submitted to the nursery of your first choice no later than Friday 2nd March 2018.

If you have any children in your family or know of any child/children who may be eligible for nursery in session 2018/19 I would be grateful if you would inform the parents that applications need to be submitted by this date.  Submitting applications on time increases the opportunity of parents being granted a place in a nursery of their choice.  Letters informing parents of the nursery allocation decisions will be sent second class post on Friday 4th May 2018.

Applications forms, with guidance on completing the form and establishment contact details, can be collected from any establishment with nursery provision or can be downloaded from the council website at www.northlanarkshire.gov.uk/nurseryplaces

If you need further information regarding the content of this letter please contact either your local nursery or the Family Information Service, on 01236 812281 or by emailing llsearlyyears@northlan.gov.uk

Please note that children should have a 27 – 30 month health review.  You should contact your Health Visitor about this if you have not received an appointment.

Your assistance in this matter is very much appreciated.

Yours sincerely

Mrs Karen Greechan
