Starting Nursery
Doncaster Council also co-ordinate our Nursery admissions. You will need to apply through your MyDoncaster account. Children are usually admitted to a school nursery in the September following their third birthday. You can apply for a place at our nursery class but will need to apply again for a place in our reception class. We are currently offering 30 hours. You will need to apply for your 30 hour code before the end of the term for your child to begin the following term. Please be aware that attending our nursery class does not guarantee you a place in our reception class.
We currently run a morning and an afternoon session.
Morning session is 8.30 am – 11.30am and afternoon session is 12.15pm – 3.15pm.
There are 26 places in each session.
If our Nursery is full then your child will be placed on a waiting list which is also managed by Doncaster Council.
