Admissions Policy

Enrolment forms must be completed and returned before a child can be considered for entry to the nursery. In order to provide sufficient continuity, the minimum number of sessions available for part-time is 2 sessions per week. If you change your child’s sessions a new form MUST be completed.

Changes

The nursery manager must be given at least four weeks written notice if a parent wishes to withdraw their child from the nursery. If a parent wishes to increase or reduce their sessions, one months notice is the minimun requirement. Normal fees will be charged until sessions can be changed. If no notice or insufficient notice is given you will be charged the full four weeks. You are required to complete a new enrolment form when your child changes their sessions.

All enrolment forms will be updated yearly, all fees need to be paid a month in advance. Failure to do this may result in my child losing their place at Pixieland.

As a nursery if we have any concerns about your child, we have an obligation to contact Social Services and also Advice and Assessment.
