Please find below our application form to apply for a place in our school Nursery.
St Joseph’s Nursery admits children on or after their 3rd birthday. Admission is given on an age criteria but whenever possible, Baptised Catholic children will always be given first priority for admittance, however non-Catholic children, or children of parents who wish their child to gain from our Nursery ethos, are welcome and admitted in the same order as our School Admission Policy.
Please note: admission to Nursery does not automatically guarantee admission into School.
We have an excellent EYFS team, who liaise closely with you to give children the best possible preparation for entering primary school.
Once we receive your completed forms, we will contact you to discuss your child’s start date. We offer an enhanced transition to ensure your child(ren) settles in the best possible way. All children start their nursery journey with invites to Stay and Play sessions with their parents, and then sessions are tailored to the individual. Please speak to a staff member for further details.
