Nursery

This page has all the factual information parents and families may need to help them find out about our nursery, which we hope is especially useful if you are considering enrolling your child with us. We also have a fun class page where Mrs. Gallen, our nursery teacher, posts pictures and up to date information about what is happening in the nursery. CLICK HERE. This class page is intended to be for families that already have children enrolled with us and want to find out about what we do very day.

To help get your child ready for nursery we have published this parent guide to children's learning and development. We also have our nursery prospectus, below, to inform parents of what our nursery is all about.

Nursery admissions

If you would like your child to join our nursery you will need to apply for a place. Below you will find links to our nursery admissions policy and blank application forms.

Application forms can be submitted by

• post - Nursery admissions, St. John's CE Primary School, Laund Nook, Belper, Derbyshire, DE56 1GY
• email - nursery@st-johnscofe.derbyshire.sch.uk
• hand delivered to the school office

To help work out when your child can potentially join us we have also included a document below called 'When can your child join us?' This table shows the date your child will be able to join us depending on their date of birth. Applications can be made up to two years in advance of starting.

Open afternoons and evenings

To help you with your applications we invite you to come and bring your child to our nursery and have a look at it 'in action' with Mr. Averis. Please ring the school and speak to Mrs. Howis or Mrs. Simpson  to book an appointment on one of the tours below. You are welcome to bring your child with you. As well as looking at the nursery we will also spend time looking at the rest of our school.

Tuesday 17th September - 9.30am

Once you child is coming to our nursery you may want to increase the number of sessions or alter the times of the sessions that they attend. We will always try to accommodate these requests but all changes are subject to availability of places and school resources. We will also have to consider future applications for places that have been made with regards to our admissions policy.

Please complete and return the request form below to let us know of any changes you would like to make.
