Nursery

We have a large nursery provision, the admissions applications are managed by the school. If you would like your child to join our nursery you can fill in a Nursery Waiting Form to be put on the waiting list. This can either be dowloaded from the link below and returned in an email to info@lakeside.theharmonytrust.org, or picked up from the office.

Our intakes are in September, January and April and we accept children the term after their third birthday depending on the spaces available. For instance, if your child turns 3 in August, they will be offered a place to start with us in September, but if their birthday falls in September, they will be offered a place to start in January.

You can fill in a waiting form at any time leading up to your child's third birthday, but acceptances are based on a specific criteria which can be found below, 'LPA Nursery Admission Criteria Jul'22'.

The school also offer ‘The Extended Free Childcare Offer’ and offer full days placements.
