Nursery Admissions: Applications to Akeley Wood Nursery are welcomed from parents looking for nursery provision from the child’s first birthday until they are due to start school (the September following a child’s fourth birthday). Applications can be made at any age once the child’s birth has been registered. The first formal stage is to register your son or daughter with, detailing the sessions that you would ideally require. For those children already attending a childcare setting, they will ask their current provider for a reference and may invite your child, accompanied by a family member, to meet the Nursery Manager. Taking these elements into consideration and on the basis of being able to offer the sessions to meet your childcare need, they would ideally make an offer of a place. However, there will be occasions when the offer of a place cannot be made, and they would explain any such decision to parents at an early stage. They accept children whose individual needs they feel they will be able to cater for and will thrive in the nurturing preschool environment they offer.
