Nursery Admissions - 2020-21

Applying for a Nursery place for September 2020. Parents apply directly to Prae Wood School. Forms will be available to download from October 2019*

Our Nursery admission Pupil Admission Number (PAN) is 39. We have one intake in September each year and places are allocated according to the schools’ admission criteria.

All children are offered the 15 hours of funded education over 5 daily sessions per week, running from 9am-12pm. In addition to this for eligible families the 30 hours free childcare sessions are offered daily from 12pm-3pm, meaning children can attend nursery for 30 hours over 5 days each week from 9am – 3pm term time only.

Families who are not eligible can also access the afternoon childcare sessions for a fee of £15.00 per day. These sessions must be booked and paid for a half-term in advance via the school office and you will need to provide your child with a packed lunch, or pre-book a school lunch. A half-term’s notice is required to reduce sessions.

Paid for childcare sessions are also offered in term time only. Adhoc sessions may be available upon request.

From September 2019 Nursery children will have access to wraparound childcare via 'Little Breakfast Club' or 'Little RASCals', our after school club. These sessions will run in a separate space to the current provision, for Nursery and Reception-age children, to better cater for the needs of differing age groups.

Application opens: November 2019*

Application closes: February 2020*
