The admission of your child to nursery education is a very important step.
Nursery education provides an excellent opportunity for your children to expand their world and increase their learning opportunities. Warrington's children and young people's services has excellent provision in all early years settings.
Warrington Borough Council directly maintains one nursery school and 27 nursery classes attached to a variety of primary schools.
A child usually attends a maintained nursery for 12 months (three terms) prior to the year in which they start the reception class. In some cases places are available for longer and a child may be offered a place from the term following their third birthday, enabling them to have four or five terms of nursery education.
For admissions to Nursery School/Nursery Classes in September 2012 applications will be considered first from parents of children born between 1 September 2008 and 31 August 2009 (reaching their 4th birthday between 1 September 2012 and 31 August 2013).'
