Admissions

How to join us

Joining is simple. Children can start at any time of year, and our waiting list is usually several months long, so we recommend joining up to a year before you'd like your child to start.

Four steps to your first day

  1. Step 1 of 4:

    Come and visit

    Book a short visit to the nursery. Come and see for yourself, and ask us anything you'd like to know. Visits usually take 10 to 15 minutes.

  2. Step 2 of 4:

    Join the waiting list

    Your child goes on our waiting list. It is usually several months long, so we recommend joining up to a year before you'd like your child to start. Brothers and sisters of children already at the nursery get priority.

  4. Step 4 of 4:

    Settling in

    You'll complete an 'All About Me' profile on Eylog and meet your child's Key Person. Then we build up slowly, at your child's pace.
