Some school nursery classes accept children in the term after their third birthday, others in the term after their fourth birthday. Please also check any specific admission criteria they use. Some school nurseries may only have one intake per year (in September).

Contact the school whose nursery you would like your child to attend. The school will keep a list of children whose parents have asked for a place. This place will normally be for 5 morning or 5 afternoon sessions per week. The school will inform you by letter if a place is available for your child.

It is advisable to contact the school as early as possible as nursery classes can be oversubscribed. To obtain contact details for your local maintained school nursery classes, please contact use using the details below.

Please note that if your child attends a nursery class attached to a maintained Infant or Primary School, this is not a criterion for admission to the reception class at that school and no place can be guaranteed for your child.
