Children are eligible to start pre-school when they are 2 years of age.  We intake throughout the year, wherever places are available.

Following your initial enquiry regarding a place you will be invited with your child to look round pre-school. If you would like your child to attend you will then be offered any available sessions, an induction pack which includes a registration form plus other relevant paperwork will then be emailed or posted to you. We request for completed registration forms to be handed into pre school within five working days following receipt. We offer a 1 hour free taster for your child before their first day to let them familiarize themselves with the setting and staff.

Your child’s first week:

If parents wish to they can stay for up to 1 hour on the first day, parents will be invited to sit in the foyer area so they can be reassured by staff when your child has settled, this will then be reduced to 30 minutes for the second day and further reduced times if required. If parents wish to only leave their child for 1.5 hours for their first week they can, but full session costs will remain the same. Each and every child are individual and all settle differently. Some parents wish for children to start immediately with no settling in time. How you want your child to settle into Pre-school is entirely up to you, we will work with your requests.

We encourage parents to telephone Pre-school at anytime to see how their child is, but if your child is getting too distressed and upset we will contact you immediately.

If your child is starting throughout the year within a 2 week period of you enquiring we may not be able to arrange a home visit within this short time frame.
