How to apply for an Early Learning and Childcare place

 

To apply for a Early Learning and Childcare place, you should complete an application form, around the time your child turns two years old or before 28th February each year. The nursery application form is available on request from the nursery class or any Early Learning and Childcare setting within Inverclyde.

All children who are eligible for a nursery place are asked to list, in order of priority, up to three nursery choices. Only one application form must be submitted. Although children are guaranteed a place within either a council establishment or within a partnership establishment we cannot guarantee your choices or your chosen model of attendance.

Once completed forms should be submitted to your first choice nursery. Proof of your child’s date of birth in the form of their birth certificate and address must be produced when submitting your application. Forms submitted without this evidence will not be accepted at any establishment.

All applications must be presented and an admission panel before any place will be allocated.

For more information on the nursery enrolment procedures, please refer to the Early Years Admission Policy below or contact the school office either in person or via telephone (01475 715812).
