Initial applications for Nursery are open from 6 January 2025 to 28 February 2025. All new applications received within this period will be included in the initial allocation of places.
If your child currently attends a local authority nursery place and you wish to keep this, please complete the form to confirm the pattern of attendance. This form should also be used if you are applying for an additional year of ELC to defer entry to primary school. More information regarding eligibility can be found here.
If you are considering applying for a Strong Start 2 place, please check the Funded early learning and childcare for 2 year olds (Strong Starts) page for eligibility information.
Applications remain open after the 28 February, and you can continue to apply through to the end of 2025-26.
