Part-Time School Nursery Places

Children may have a part-time place in a nursery centre or a class attached to a school in the term following their third birthday. Most parents / carers choose to start their child at nursery in the September of the academic year (the academic year runs from 1 September this year to 31 August next calendar year) in which the child is four so that he or she can move through the school with the same group of children.

If a child starts in January or April, he or she will have five or four terms in the nursery before moving into his / her reception class. The larger intake in September means that fewer places are available at the beginning of the spring and summer terms and choice of centres/schools is more limited.

If there are more requests than part-time places available, we use the criteria explained on the full-time nursery places page to decide which children should be offered places. You should ask your preferred school for an application form.

We are responsible for admissions but schools and nursery centres carry out their own administrative procedures. There is no right of appeal against the decision to refuse admission to nurseries.
