Nursery Admissions - September 2022
Parents have the choice of using their free hours of nursery entitlement between private providers or local authority nurseries. If they wish for their child to attend a nursery setting, parents need to approach individual nurseries about applying for a place. In order to make the process easier for parents, all the schools in the Hitchin area with a nursery class, have aligned their application timeline. Although parents still need to apply to the nurseries individually, the process and time frame to do so is the same for all the settings.
The timeline below shows the application timeline being adopted for September 2022, and applies to all nurseries in the Hitchin area linked to mainstream schools. Eligible children are those turning 4 between 01.09.22 and 31.08.23.
Monday 31st January 2022 | Applications open via school’s websites for Hitchin maintained nursery schools and nursery classes (online applications preferred) |
Friday 11th March 2022 | Applications close for Hitchin maintained nursery schools and nursery classes |
Thursday 31st March 2022 | Offers made to parents (via the same method as application was made) |
Friday 22nd April 2022 | Deadline for parents to accept/reject places. Continued interest offers will be made after this date. |
All places are funded by the local authority, have a qualified nursery teacher and provide the opportunity for children to experience being part of a school. Further partnership information can be found in the Admissions Policy.
Reception entry - September 2022
Applications for entry to our Reception classes are processed by the local authority, during the autumn / spring terms. Applications open from 1st November 2021 until 15th January 2022. For all queries regarding these applications please contact the admissions team at Herts County Council (HCC).
