Essendon School Admissions Statement

Nursery admissions

Our nursery caters for children who will turn four years of age during the academic year.

We offer a highly flexible approach to ensuring that all children make a positive and successful start to Nursery, including accommodating reduced timetables and a January start where appropriate.​

We accept children on the government's 15 and 30 hours free childcare scheme, and welcome visits from prospective parents. To arrange a visit, please contact the school office. Further details of our Nursery provision can be found in our Nursery Provision policy click on the link below.​

If you are ready to apply for a place, you can download our Nursery Application form below.
