Nursery Admissions
If you would like your child to be considered for a place at one of our nurseries, please apply directly to the Federation.
Children can join nursery from the term after their third
birthday, so, for example, if they turned three on 1st
November, they could join nursery from January.
If you would like to find out more about our nursery offer please look at the attachments below.
Please note, a place at one of our nurseries does not immediately result in a place in one of our Reception classes. If you wish your child to continue their education at the Federation after nursery, parents/carers need to apply through the county council admissions process.
