Which intake can your child join?

At Kings Norton Nursery School, we have three separate intakes each academic year. Children are able to start Nursery the term after their 3rd birthday, or the term after their 2nd birthday if they are an eligible 2 year old. 

Most of our children start in September at the beginning of the autumn term, however, more children can join us at the beginning of the spring and summer terms, if space allows. Term Dates 

With each intake, we can only accept children up until the dates of each terms' census as we can only claim funding for the children who are listed on our census for that term. We are only able to accept new pupils after the census if they are fee-paying children.

See below for approximate census dates:

Autumn term – first week of October
Spring term – third week of January
Summer term – third week of May

Please note there will most likely only be a small number of spaces available for our January and April intakes, and we may even reach full capacity in the autumn term and have no spaces left to offer in the new year. Therefore, if your child is eligible to start Nursery, you may be better off applying for a September place and starting Nursery earlier than planned.
