NURSERY ADMISSIONS 

Application forms for admission to Nursery are available at the bottom of this page. Please also visit our Nursery webpage to find our more about our fantastic provision.

ALLOCATING PLACES

The Governing Body intends to allocate up to 36 children each day in the nursery. This can equate to 72 part-time 15 hour places or 36 full-time 30 hour places or a combination of part-time and full-time places.

There will be up to ten places available for two year old children. Those eligible for Free Early Education for Two Year olds (FEET) will be prioritised before those who are eligible as working parents of 2 year olds. There will be up to 62 places available for three and four year olds. Within each of the oversubscription criteria, priority will be given to the universal entitlement of 15 hours of Funded Early Education, followed by candidates who are eligible for 30 hours full-time places as working parents of 3 and 4 year olds and those willing to fund the place privately. For more information about FEET and FEE Funding and to find out if you are eligible, please visit: https://www.surreycc.gov.uk/people-and-community/families/childcare/paying

A place in the nursery will NOT guarantee a place in Reception. A new application will be required for entry into full time Statutory Education at the School and the Oversubscription Criteria will again be applied
