At Whiteheath Infant & Nursery School, nursery places are managed directly by us, following the same fair and transparent criteria used for Infant School admissions.
Children usually begin Nursery in the September following their 3rd birthday. Once your little one turns 3, you’re warmly invited to apply for a place.
If we have spaces available, we’ll even get in touch to offer an earlier start—because we know every moment counts! We also welcome applications for children who have turned 2.

In the first instance, we will:
Offer places of 30 hours free entitlement with an option to pay for the Extended nursery day from 2.35pm - 3.20pm to keep in line with the normal end of school timings. Along with our Kingfisher Afterschool club (3.30 - 6.00pm)
Expect that all the 30 hours will be taken at Whiteheath Nursery.
Provide snacks and drinks during the day but expect families to provide a packed if the child is in school all day
If a child is offered a 30 hour place and the eligibility code is not received within an agreed timescale the place will be withdrawn and offered to the next family on our waiting list
Any remaining places will be offered to AM and PM requested places
A place in the Nursery does not guarantee a place in the Infant School.
Parents of children in the Nursery MUST apply for an infant school place
through their Local Authority.
