Admissions
Tots 'R' Us Nursery warmly welcomes children aged one and above to a safe and calming place of early years learning.
The Nursery is open to children aged one to school age. Places will be allocated from the waiting list when a place becomes available. Children can remain at the Nursery until they are old enough to start mainstream nursery or school.
The Nursery manager is responsible for maintaining the waiting list and contacting prospective parents/carers when a place becomes available. We are registered with the local authority to accept government funding. Children are entitled to between fifteen and thirty hours a week free early years education to all qualifying parents/carers. More information about the eligibility criteria can be found on the governemt website.
A registration visit or home visit must be completed before a child can start Nursery. At this visit you will meet the Nursery manager or deputy manager and your child's key person. They will explain more about the Nursery and gather information about a child's individual needs. Parents and carers must complete and sign registration forms and parental consent forms.
At all times, we try to minimise the disturbance to the children in the Nursery, while at the same time being open to visitors and prospective parents/carers. Opportunities for prospective parents/carers and children to visit the Nursery prior to attending are available by booking in with the manager.
