Nursery (Foundation One) Arrangements

Our nursery class has 26 places, starts in September and is open to children who will be 3 between 1st September 2025 and 31st August 2026 (rising 4s).

We do offer some full time places for children depending on their circumstances, but this isn’t a guarantee.  We begin our nursery admissions process in the spring term and collate all the information from parents and other professionals including:

  • health visitor
  • current nursery or pre-school setting
  • a visit to our nursery
  • information from the admissions form

Once we have all the information we need about your child and their needs, we make the decision about whether it is appropriate for your child to have a full time place straightaway, or whether they might need a more staggered transition to full time.  Some children aren’t ready for full time initially and we will be honest and clear with parents about that when places are confirmed in the summer term.

You can add your child’s name to our waiting list from birth, and we will contact you in the spring term before they are due to start nursery to fill out the admission form and let you know the arrangements as outlined above.  You’ll need to provide your child’s full birth certificate, passport (if they have one) and proof of your address.

All places will be offered in line with our admission policy, in this order of priority:

  • Lives in catchment and has siblings currently in school
  • Lives in catchment
  • Lives out of catchment but has siblings currently in school
  • Lives out of catchment

Our federated partner organisation, Nottingham Nursery School has places for children from 2 – 4 years old.  Please contact them on 0115 915 9090 for more information.

If you have any questions, please call 0115 9151796 and ask to speak to Michelle Bramley, School Business Manager.
