Children start our school nursery the term after their 3rd birthday. Children can be added to our waiting list any time throughout the year.
All 3 year olds are entitled to 15 hours free education, they can access this from attending morning or afternoon sessions.
We also offer government funded 30 hours free education, for more information and to check eligibility, visit the government website here.

Please note that there is no automatic transfer from our Nursery to reception class. Attending or nursery class does not give your child priority for a place in our reception class. If you want a place in our reception class, you must complete the formal Local Authority application form during the relevant application period. Application booklets are also available from school at the beginning of the school year on request.
(If you live in another borough, contact your home authority for details of where to apply.)
