Nursery Application information

Orchard Vale Nursery will be offering 30 hours funding for those children eligible from September 2017.
In order to check eligibility please go to www.childcarechoices.gov.uk
 
Once you have done this and have your 11 digit eligibility code (starting with 5000) please download and complete the form below and return to the school office.
If you wish to apply for a place at Nursery, please contact the school office for an application form or download one below. You need to complete all 3 forms and return to the school office.
 

Once this is filled out return to the office with a copy of the birth certificate.

Our nursery co-ordinator, Ms Stacey, will then contact you the term before your child is due to start to speak to you about organising a home visit, open mornings and allocating your hours.

Once your child has started Nursery we do ask that if you wish to make any changes to their hours, unless it is special circumstances, that these be done the start of the next term due to staffing arrangements. 

If your child has a place in our Nursery this does not automatically give them a place in our Reception class. You will need to apply through Admissions Online for a school place. You can check when you will need to apply for a school place on the Admissions website. If you need any help please contact Heidi Stacey.
