Orchard Nursery School

Admissions Policy

The Nursery school will follow the following Admissions policy. When the Nursery is oversubscribed the order of admission will be:-

· Children with siblings attending Nursery already.

· Children related to staff members.

· Followed by children on the waiting list.

·

Parents may enrol their child by filling in an admissions form.

Pre-admission visits are encouraged.

No child will be discriminated against in the light of their race, gender, ability, disability or family background.

Waiting List

Parents can put their child’s name on the waiting list from birth. Parents are asked to complete a registration form and the details are then transferred to the waiting list.

In the term before a child is due to start Nursery, the Nursery will offer the child and parents the opportunity to visit and start an induction plan as well as a home visit

When a child starts

When a child starts at Nursery we encourage the parents to stay old. All parents must read and agree to adhere to the Pre-school’s policies when their child starts. Parents are asked to complete admission form and permission slips.

A member of staff will welcome and help settle the child in to pre-school. Through discussion with the parent and the staff it will be decided when it is best for a child to be left on their own.
