Admission Policy

Availability

We provide: full and part time places, full and half days.

Registration

Parents may register their child for the nursery by contacting the Nursery Office. You will be invited to view the nursery and complete an Application for a Nursery Place. Once we have received the form, the child’s name will be added to the admissions list until a place becomes available at the required start date. There is a first come first served policy, however if there is a sibling who already attends the nursery priority will be given.

Once a place is identified parents will be informed and asked to pay a non-refundable deposit for holding the nursery place until the start date. Deposits are only returned when the child leaves the nursery.

All children will undertake a settling in period, which will run across three days.

On day one children will attend between 9.30am and 10.30 parents must be present.

On day two children will stay between 9.30 and 10.30 without the presence of their parent.

On day three children will attend between 11am and 1pm without the parent. Any concerns will be discussed at the end of each session.
