If your child was born between 1 September 2021 and 31 August 2022, you are able to apply for a place at our Nursery to start in September 2025.  We only admit children in September and your child must be at least 3 years old on 1 September 2025 to join our Nursery.

Nursery admissions are processed by the school itself. To find out more about applying for a nursery place, please visit the borough's website with links below:

School Nursery Classes and Maintained Nursery Schools: how to apply

We operate an online applications portal through which you can apply for our Nursery.  You will need to enter a few basic details to set up a parent account on the portal.  You will then receive an email confirming the parent account set up and giving you access to the application form for Nursery.  Here is the link for the applications portal:

APPLY HERE: Nursery Applications 2025-26

This portal allows you to save progress and return to the application form as many times as you like.  There is also the option to translate the application form in to your own language if that helps.  The deadline for Nursery applications is Friday 7 March 2025 so please ensure you have completed and submitted the application form by this date.  Applications received after this date will still be accepted but will be placed on a waiting list and processed only if and when spaces become available.

If you have any questions regarding Nursery admissions to our school, please contact the Admissions Officer at admissions@burlingtoni.org.uk

I have submitted my application form for a place at your Nursery - what happens next?

We will be in touch with on-time applicants by April 2025 to confirm places and to ask about your funding eligibility and for your preference on part time vs. full time places (see details below).  Nursery admissions are only processed after the March deadline so we kindly ask that you do not contact us to chase up your application before April.

Please note: if your child attends our Nursery, this does not automatically guarantee him / her a place at Reception.  You must make a new application via E-Admissions for your child.  See our Admissions - Reception web page.
