Nursery Admissions
To register your child to start at nursery Whale Hill, visit the main office today and speak to Miss McGee. Please remember to bring along your child’s full birth certificate.
We can now offer 25 places for 30-hour children. We are only extending the offer to our N2 children, so those who have already turned 3 before 31st August in the year they start nursery.
If you would like one of those places, and are already eligible, or believe you will be, please contact us for more information.
For further information on the 30-hour provision, or to use the eligibility checker tool, please visit the Childcare Choices website: https://www.childcarechoices.gov.uk/
Even if you are not eligible, we would love to have your child with us for the universally funded 15 hours. If your child is not yet on our waiting list, please call into the office with a copy of your child’s birth certificate and we can take some details from you, ready for your little one to take their next steps with Whale Hill Primary.
