Policies and procedures

Promoting equality and admissions policy

We welcome children and families from all social, cultural and religious backgrounds. We value the diversity of family structures and life-styles. We aim to create a rich and diverse nursery environment to reflect the social and cultural diversity in our communities.

We recognise that all children in the nursery have a right to be listened to, respected, valued and protected from all forms of discrimination.

We aim to be as flexible and accessible as possible, offering sessions based on the needs of families in the local community. Nursery places are allocated using a points system to ensure fairness. More details are available from the Nursery Manager.

Booking and registration

If you are interested in a place at our nursery, please contact the nursery manager to arrange a visit and complete a booking form. You will then have the opportunity to discuss the nursery and any questions you may have in more detail. Once your child has been accepted by the nursery, you will then be invited to visit the nursery again so you can complete the registration form.

Settling into the nursery

We aim to make the big step from home to nursery a positive experience for everyone. We want every child to feel settled and secure, and we know that you’re the best person to help us get to know your child. You will be asked to stay with your child at first to introduce them gradually to nursery life so that they can settle comfortably. You may need to make several visits to the nursery with your child before you leave them.

You will gradually spend longer periods apart until your child is ready to start their daily session without you. Your child’s key person will discuss the best way to settle your child into the nursery so that you will feel confident when you leave your child in our care.
