We are honoured that you are thinking about bringing your child to our nursery. We recognise that this is a significant decision, and we want to support you while you make it. a morning or afternoon when you are welcome to tour the entire school, including the nursery. This will primarily be a tour around the school. In order to give you a sense of daily life at St. John's, we do this during the school day. a letter alerting you of the nursery placement status of your child. These are often delivered during the last semester of the year before your child is scheduled to begin school. an invitation to a gathering for new parents. During the summer session, this occurs in the evening. It is based on presentation and is inappropriate for kids. a request for you and your kid to visit the nursery for a quick session during the summer term. a home visit from a member of our childcare staff the September before your child starts school. Consider attending our Wednesday morning "Stay and Play" session if you and your kid would want to learn more about us. One of our staff members leads these seminars during the academic year. You must submit an application to the local council for reception spaces. Further details can be found at: http://cms.walsall.gov.uk/school_admissions.htm We have no influence over this process but the local authority does follow our own admissions criteria published on our website.
