Admission to Nursery

To access a nursery place, parents/carers must fill in a Nursery Application Form. Forms are available via email from the main school office and can be completed any time after a child’s first birthday. Please email admin@redwood.derby.sch.uk to request a copy or follow this link https://forms.office.com/r/ULGAc9dM03

Forms are kept on file and parents are contacted prior to a child’s starting date. Parental preferences stated on the form may be amended at any time.

Children are admitted after their third birthday, subject to the availability of places.

Children are entitled to receive 15 hours Nursery provision per week. Parents can select between models 1 and 2 of our provision. Working families entitled to the 30 hour free childcare can take option 3. Please visit the government website to check your entitlement. https://childcare-support.tax.service.gov.uk/par/app/applynow Families can chose to split the 30 hours with another provider, however we can only offer options 1 and 2.
