Admissions | Long Ditton Infant and Nursery School

Admissions to Nursery

A child can be admitted into a nursery class at either the start of the term following the child’s third birthday or the day the child is 3 years old. This will ensure that children will have at least 3 terms in nursery education prior to entry into reception class of a mainstream school. Consistent attendance on a regular basis is expected of all children.

It should be noted that admissions to any nursery even those attached to a school does not guarantee admission to the reception class of a particular school. Parents must follow normal procedures when applying for full-time education.

Please see our Nursery School Admissions Policy for more information.

The LA has delegated the admissions of nursery children to the governors who will consider applications in age order with the oldest children being given priority.
