Enrolment Process

The first step is to put your child onto our register of interest. You do this by completing and returning our Pre-registration Form and ensures we have all your information so we can be sure to include you in all relevant communication. It is wise to register your interest at the earliest opportunity. You can either hand it into Pre-School for the attention of our Enrolment officer or return it via email at enrolment@stanfordpreschool.org.uk who will confirm receipt of the form within 10 working days.

Depending on availability, we offer places to children the term in which they turn three, keeping in mind priority is given to those children leaving for primary school that academic year, those with Special Educational Needs, children in need and those living in Stanford in the Vale.

Approximately 2-3 months before your child is eligible to start, we will contact you to ascertain if you still require a place for your child and if so, what sessions we may have available. If you wish to enrol your child, we will then start the formal enrolment process which will include various paper work as well as attending our Induction evening. The Induction evening is a great opportunity to have a tour of the Pre-School, to meet the staff and gain an insight into how the Pre-School operates and what a “typical” day may look like.

Following the evening, the Enrolment Officer will confirm dates for your child to start with us as well as dates for us to visit your child in their home environment and a stay and play session for you both to attend.

Please contact us if you would like more information. For further details please see the Admissions Policy and Fees & Payment Policy under Policies
