Primary Schools are now required to publish alongside their Performance information a list of their childcare provision making it easier for parents to know what is available.
Peases West Primary School offers a range of childcare provision which we have listed below:
Nursery Admission Information
Parents/carers can place their child’s name on our waiting list for a nursery at the beginning of the school year (1st September to 31st August) in which your child has his or her second birthday. We have 3 termly intakes into Nursery. Children start the term after their 3rd Birthday.
To apply for a place, please complete a Nursery Application Form given below and return it to school.
Nursery Application Form (NA1)
You will be given a slip which confirms that your child’s name has been placed on the waiting list. However, this does not guarantee your child will be given a place. Letters offering nursery places will be dispatched the term before they are due to start.
