School Readiness
A child who is ready for school will find the transition straight forward and be able to adapt quickly to the changes to their environment.
Both Parents/carers and the Nursery setting can contribute significantly to this transition. This page will provide information on how we help, as well as tips for parents and advice on applying for schools.

When Should I Apply?
Applications open in September and close on 15 January. Your child will be 3 or have just turned 4 when you apply.
Children born from 1 April to 31 August (summer born children), do not need to start school until the September after their 5th birthday; a full year after they could first have started school, but you'll still have to apply at the usual time.
