How to Apply
If you have not yet been to visit us, please call at any time and make an appointment to pop in to visit the Pre-School. If you would like us to enter your child on our waiting list, please complete our application form and return it to us. We will give you a call to discuss arrangements for your child shortly before they are due to start.
We provide a minimum of 3 stay and play sessions to help children settle into the Pre-School and become familiar with the surroundings. We will monitor how your child settles and offer additional sessions if required.
