Admissions
2 year-olds
We have a number of places for 2-year-olds who are eligible for:
- The government's Funding for 2's (If you are eligible you should receive a letter just before your child's 2nd birthday, but if you haven't you can check online at www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/free2s )
- (From April 2024) Working Parent's 15 hours for 2's (To find out if you are eligible please visit the government's Child Care Choices website.)
- those who want to pay for a place for your 2 year old.
To get onto the waiting list for a place please fill out an application form and bring it into nursery – Printable PDF link on this page. We need to see proof of date of birth and proof of address when you bring the form in to Nursery. We will then get in contact you when there is a place available for your child.

Children with additional needs
Our nursery staff are very experienced in the care and education of children with additional needs. To ensure that we can offer a safe and secure environment it may mean we have to wait for the recruitment of new staff to enable your child to have a 1:1, which could lead to a delay in their admission. If you have any questions regarding this, please do get in touch with Claire Palmer, our SENCO, who can be contacted via the school office.
