Nursery School Admissions In Lancashire 2020/21

This information should be read alongside the booklet -"Nursery School Admissions in Lancashire – Information for Parents 2020/21" which gives full details about Nursery provision and how to apply for a place for your child.

This document contains details of nursery schools and classes maintained * by Lancashire County Council. It is recommended that you contact the nursery school or class which you are considering in order to obtain more detailed information about exactly what provision will be available.

* "maintained" = funded via the Local Authority. Designation The nursery schools & classes listed below fall into two categories. These are shown in the Designation column: C (Community) and VC (Voluntary Controlled) - Lancashire County Council determines the admission arrangements for these schools. VA (Voluntary Aided), F (Foundation) and A (Academies) - the individual governing bodies of these schools set the admission arrangements. S – Special school – these are schools for children who have special educational needs.

Number of Places This is the number of places available at the nursery school or class. A single figure indicates the number of places available in the morning and afternoon (e.g. 26 = 26 places in the morning and 26 places available in the afternoon). If there is a variation between mornings and afternoons, or the nursery only offers part day provision, this is shown in that column.

SUMMARY OF ADMISSION POLICY FOR MAINTAINED* NURSERY SCHOOLS AND NURSERY CLASSES IN COMMUNITY & VOLUNTARY CONTROLLED SCHOOLS

* "maintained" = funded via the Local Authority

This is a summary only. Full details can be found in the booklet "Nursery School Admissions in Lancashire – Information for Parents 2020-21".

(i) Children in public care (looked after children) or those children at risk of becoming looked after. (ii) Children with Education, Health and Care Plans (Special Educational Needs) and those with exceptional/strong SEN reasons for attending a particular school/setting. (iii) Exceptional/strong medical, social, welfare reasons (associated with the child and/or the family) for attending a particular school/setting. (iv) Children who will have a sibling in attendance at the time of their admission. (v) Parents/carers who provide evidence of training/education at a local establishment, working locally or established local childcare arrangements (at the time of the child's admission). (vi) Those living nearest the school/setting.

Notes

 In relation to (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) parents must provide the necessary evidence and contact names/e- mail/telephone numbers with their application.  For criteria (iv) siblings are defined as brothers, sisters, step brothers, step sisters, half brothers, half sisters, adopted and fostered children living with the same family at the same address.  In relation to (vi) measures will be in a straight line (centre of building to centre of building).  Criteria (vi) will be used as a tie break should there be oversubscription within any of the stated admission criteria.

In most cases, children will be admitted to the nursery school or class of their parent's preference. Occasionally however a school or class will receive more applications than there are available places. Parents will be able to seek provision elsewhere and can also request that their child's name be placed on a waiting list for places at their preferred school or class. Should places become available then these will be offered in accordance with the published admission criteria and not on a first come first served basis.

ADMISSIONS TO VOLUNTARY AIDED, FOUNDATION, ACADEMY & FREE SCHOOL NURSERIES The Governing Bodies of Voluntary Aided, Foundation, Academy and Free School Nurseries determine their own admission arrangements and the criteria for admission may therefore be different from those detailed above. You are advised to contact these nursery schools or classes for clarification of their admission criteria and arrangements.
