Starting West Park Nursery
Admission to West Park Nursery does not guarantee a place for your child in the reception class at this school.
Children can be admitted to the Nursery class the term after their third birthday until we reach our admission limit of 39 places per morning and afternoon session.
You need to apply directly to the school for a place in Nursery. An application form can be collected from the main school office. Once we receive an application the child’s details will be added to our waiting list according to their chronological age.
The Nursery class has places for 78 children, 39 in the morning and 39 in the afternoon. Some of these places are taken up by children who stay full time (30 hours) some choose to attend for 2 ½ full days at the beginning of the week or at the end of the week.
Alongside this we also offer a lunch club for those children who stay full time or 2 ½ days. At the moment the cost of this is £1.60 per day.
Contact Mrs Pearce, our Early Years Lead, if you have any questions
