Nursery

Nursery Admissions

All Nursery places are allocated in accordance with the school’s Admissions Policy.

The headteacher very much encourages parents to get in touch so that a tour of the Nursery can be arranged and so that we get an opportunity to meet with you and your child.

In the first instance, parents will be asked to complete a short application form so that your child can be added to our waiting list. Parents will then be contacted during the term before your child’s expected start date at which point the school will confirm if a place is available.

If you decide to accept the space for your child you will be asked to complete and return a full application pack and provide a copy of your child’s birth certificate and passport (if they have one) as well as evidence of your address (such as a recent council tax bill) and, where applicable, a certificate of Baptism.

If your child is offered a place we will discuss and confirm a start date with you. If you think that your child will need some time to settle in then a reduced timetable can be arranged until they are comfortable. Where possible we will attempt to invite you and your child to a stay-and-play session prior to their start date.

Please note that attending our Nursery does not give children an automatic space within our Reception class when they reach compulsory school age. Parents will have to apply for a space in the usual way, via Essex County Council’s website, when it is time to do so.
