There are 3 points of entry for children to the nursery. These are September, January and April. Children start the term after their third birthday but this is subject to availability of places. At present, children are entitled to 15 hours free over 3 to 5 days. There are morning and afternoon sessions.

We aim to make starting nursery as comfortable as possible for the children. Home visits take place so that staff can meet the children in a familiar environment. Starting times are staggered over a short period of time to help your child settle gradually.

Children become eligible to join school in our Reception class during the year in which they have their 5th birthday. Under new admission arrangements which take effect from September 2011, parents may elect to send their child to school on either a full time or part time basis in September or may delay starting until the Spring or Summer terms. The options available differ depending upon when your child has their 5th birthday. Further details can be found on the Sheffield City Council website by following the link below

Transition from nursery to reception is well planned and gradual.

Parents are welcome to visit the school. Please telephone to make an appointment.
