On admission parents are requested to complete an application form and provide a copy of their child’s birth certificate.
Should all places be offered and the nursery is not full (64 places) then places are offered to children who are three in birth date order.
The school administrator allocates the places following the guidelines from Bradford Council. The school administrator maintains the waiting list for places and allocates accordingly.
The parents are sent a letter offering a place and they confirm their acceptance by returning the acceptance slip.
Children visit the school for a pre-arranged stay and play session, the visits allow the children to meet their teacher and familiarise themselves with the nursery setting helping your child with the settling in process. Teachers will assess the child’s individual needs with parents at the stay and play session.
