Children are eligible to start Nursery the term after they turn 3 years old, if you are interested in your child attending either the morning or afternoon session then please come into school to collect an application form and bring along your child’s original birth certificate and 2 utility bills at your current address which needs to be dated within the last 3 months. Please be advised that entry into the nursery does not give automatic entry into main school. A new application will need to be made on the Redbridge Local Authority admissions website.

All families with a 3 to 4 year old child will be eligible for the universal offer of free early education of up to 15 hours a week during term time (5 mornings or 5 afternoons), However, funding changes mean that some families may now be entitled to an addition 570 hours of childcare per year, which is equal to an extra 15 hours a week for 38 weeks of the year. If you access these hours please understand that you will need to make additional provision for the school holiday periods.

The 30 hour free childcare entitlement is available to working families who meet the eligibility criteria. Parents and Carers can check eligibility at www.childcarechoices.gov.uk.
