Admission Policy
All nursery places are allocated in line with the Council’s Admission Policy Management Circular 3a.
The Admission Panel will meet 3 times a year.
The Panel consists of the Heads of Centres from the local nurseries in the area as well as Representatives from other agencies such as Health Visitors.
A leaflet outlining the Council’s policy for admissions is available on request.
A register of all applicants will be kept by the Head of Centre and the information contained in the applications will be considered by the admissions panel to assist in the allocation of places. Please note that the length of time a child’s name has been on the register will not affect the child’s priority for admission. Children may be put on the waiting list at any age by completing the appropriate application form.
Parents can ask to see their application form at any time. If circumstances change which affect the application you should speak to the Head of Centre and ammendments can be made .
When a place becomes available, a notification will be sent out with a home visit request and the necessary enrolment/charges forms will be completed.
