Every child is entitled to 15 hours free early years entitlement from the term after their 3rd birthday and 30 free hours to those families that are eligible. For further advice see the following Government website https://www.gov.uk/30-hours-free-childcare

Admissions to our school nursery will be determined by the Governing Body. All preferences listed will be considered on an equal basis and, where there are more applications than the number of places available, we will apply the schools admissions criteria.

Please indicate on the application form what nursery provision you would prefer. Once we have collated all of the information and applied our admissions criteria, we will be able to confirm if your child has been offered a place.

To apply for a place, you need to complete a Nursery Admissions form and a Nursery Application form, and return them to the school office along with the supporting documentation (Birth Certificate, Baptism Certificate and a recent utility bill)

You can access a form from the school office, or electronically by emailing enquiries@st-austins.co.uk

The deadline for submitting your application form to school is Friday 9th February 2024.
