As places are limited and demand high, it is recommended that an application form is completed and returned to us as soon as possible in order to secure a place.
Most children are registered while mother is in the early stages of pregnancy. However, some places for older children occasionally become available when existing children leave the area or full-time children reduce to part-time attendance.
All applications will be acknowledged. On receipt of your details, we will examine our forecasts to see whether we can fulfil your requirements.
If we have a place to offer, we will contact you by telephone to arrange a date for you to come and view the nursery.
Acceptance of the place needs to be confirmed in writing within a week of your viewing.
If we are unable to offer you a place initially, we will write and let you know. Your information will then be kept on our ‘Reserve List’ in the event of a place becoming available in the future.
We refer to the Reserve List when a place becomes available e.g. due to parents’ relocation. For example, if a 2 year old leaves, we would then look for a 2 year old from the application forms on our Reserve List, to slot into the place. For this reason, the Reserve List does not operate like a waiting list (where applications work their way to the top).
To request an application form, along with further information about Oakfield, please complete the online form.
