Admissions
Our community nursery thrives from a joint working partnership with parents. The Nursery is managed by parents, and relies on their voluntary help in all areas to maintain it. The early-years education and day-to-day running of the nursery is done by our wonderful and experienced nursery manager and long-standing team.
Admissions policy: Shall it be necessary, we will operate a waiting list dependent on time of application, age of child, and these other criteria:
Children with a statement of special educational needs, or a child with a recognised special need, awaiting assessment.
Children deemed to be a priority by Camden safeguarding team, a GP or Health Visitor.
Children registered on the Government’s “two year old scheme”.
Families with parents/siblings with disability.
