Pre-School Places

Egerton Pre-School is open to children the term they turn three years old until they leave to go to school.  The starting dates will change depending on the school term dates.

All children are placed on a waiting list. If more children apply than the number of places available, children will be placed in order of age (oldest first) and then priority will be given to:

1) Children who have older siblings who attend Egerton County Primary School

2) Children living in its catchment area.

3) Children living outside the catchment area.

A place at Egerton Pre-School does not guarantee the offer of a place at Egerton Primary School. Pre-school will be in touch approximately a half term before the starting date and a visit will be offered. If the place is accepted, then one induction visit is arranged during the half term before the starting date. The induction visit allows children and their parents/carers to meet the staff and their new playmates, see the routine and become familiar with the pre-school.

Initially 2-3 mornings only (9am – 12pm) will be offered, sessions available will depend on numbers at that time. (rising 3’s year olds)

Full day care (9am-3pm) is only available once children turn 3 years old and are ready for full days in our busy pre-school environment. The hours offered to these children will be over 15 hours (over 2.5 days) Any extra sessions/days in addition to these full days will be offered subject to demand and/or availability.

The term after the child turns 3, if they are eligible they may be offered up to 30 hours (5days).

NB. Children are prohibited to attend for one day a week only.

We are an inclusive setting and welcome all children, however it is essential that you advise us before your child starts, of any additional needs or concerns you may have regarding your child’s development.  Or any professionals such as speech and language therapists or agencies such as social workers involved with your family. This will enable us to ensure we can meet all your child’s needs and put in place any additional support they may need.

Hedgehog Before/After school Club

Children in their final year of pre-school and who are toilet trained, are able to attend our before and after school Hedgehog Club, the club will only run if demand is sufficient.

Hedgehog Holiday Club (9 weeks throughout the academic year)

Holiday club is only available to children who are registered at pre-school and are toilet trained. Families are able to stretch their funding across the 47 weeks we are open which is claimed at the start of every term.  The additional charge will apply, holiday club will only run if demand is sufficient, parents will be given plenty of notice if demand isn’t met.
