To contact Pre-School directly, please call: 07728236413
Applying for a place at Pre-School All children starting in September 2024 will be notified, and a place confirmed by 1st May 2024. As soon as your child becomes 3 and if we have a space, your child can begin in our pre-school. As long as places are available, children may start at any point of the year, but it is more likely a place will be secured by getting on the waiting list as early as possible. You can send apply for a space in advance too for example: academic year 2025-26. Term Time Opening HoursWe are currently open Monday to Friday 7.45am to 6pm.

How do I apply for a place on the waiting list?
To apply for a place, the 'Place Application Form' must be returned to the school office.
Once you have submitted your 'Place Application Form' and 'Session Request Form' and a place has been confirmed, you will be asked to complete our more detailed 'Admission Data Collection Form' and complete a declaration as to the free (FEEE) childcare sessions you intend to use each term.
