Applying for a place

Once your child is 1.5 years old you can come along to the nursery school and fill in a form to express your interest in a nursery place at Maytree. You can either complete the online enquiry form or print out the attached application form . If you decide to complete the attached application form you can pop it into one of our sites, or send it by post.

We will then contact you to invite you in to the school to meet Melanie, our head of school. These appointments are on Wednesdays and held in the nursery class, throughout the school day. During this time your child will have the opportunity to play in the nursery while supported by a member of staff. During your appointment Melanie will talk to you about your child and complete a more detailed admissions form. You will also have the opportunity to look around the nursery and meet some of the staff. This is a good time for you to ask any questions that you may have. This gives you the chance to find out more about us, see us at work, and decide if Maytree is the right place for you and your child.
Once you have had this meeting with Melanie you are free to return to the nursery every Wednesday to the Toddler Stay and Play, where you and your child will become familiar with the staff, routines and expectations at nursery. This is key to helping your child settle in well once they start.
Most of our places are offered to families for children to start in September. We will contact you in late spring to offer you a place for your child, and ask you to confirm your acceptance. By the summer we will confirm of this is a full or part time place. During the summer term you will also be invited to come along to the nursery for our induction event. During this event you will have the opportunity to meet the staff, other children and parents and your child's Key Person.
Prior to your child's start date your Key Person and 1 other member of staff would like the opportunity to visit you and your child in your home. This is a key stage in the settling in process for your child, as they get to meet staff in a relaxed way, in their own environment. During this time we will talk to you about your child's personality and the things they like and dislike.
