Admission Policy

The nursery is committed to being inclusive and accessible to all families. They promote their services through local community centres and multilingual outreach. They aim to foster a welcoming environment that values diversity and respects all individuals regardless of gender, ethnicity, religion, ability, or background.
 
Once a child’s admission is confirmed at Tiny Stars Nursery, a manager or staff member will contact the parent/carer to arrange a start date and induction, guided by the nursery’s Settling In Policy.
 
Waiting List Management:
 

1. If no places are available, the parent/carer will be informed and placed on a waiting list.

2. The list prioritizes older children.

3. A separate list is kept for those needing wraparound care.

4. Only 8 places are allocated for full daycare.

 

Operational Flexibility:

Tiny Stars Nursery offers a flexible schedule to support families with varied working hours. Management may reserve spots during short-term absences due to illness or holidays.

Attendance and Place Allocation:

1. Families will be contacted if a child is absent for a week without explanation.

2. If no valid reason is given, the place may be reassigned.

3. Once at full capacity, new admissions only occur annually in autumn unless a spot opens up.

Admissions Priorities:

1. Local families are prioritized to support the community.

2. Low-income families needing childcare for education or employment are given priority.

3. Siblings of current nursery children are accommodated when possible.

Fees:
 

  • The nursery acknowledges childcare costs as a concern but emphasizes that maintaining high-quality care requires financial support. Parents and carers are asked to respect the fee policy to sustain standards and resource
