Nursery Admissions Process

Your Step-By-Step Guide

Our wonderful nursery offers full days or half days, five days a week, and is open 50 weeks a year.

Step 1 -Arrange a visit 

The best way to understand what we can offer your child is to come and visit, either for a tour of the nursery, or by attending one of our Stay and Play events.  These are fun, themed events that allow you to come along with your child, meet our fabulous staff and see how your child's day is structured. To arrange a visit to the nursery please click here and fill in the form.

Step 2 - Register your child and agree your child's hours

To register your child, you will need to complete a registration form and pay a £100 non-refundable registration fee.  You can opt for either full-time or half-day sessions. When you have registered you will be asked to formally accept your child's place and pay a deposit in accordance with the nursery's terms and conditions. (This will be refunded to you when you leave the school.) 

Information about fees can be found here.

Step 3 - Arranging a settling in session for your child

We strongly encourage all children joining the nursery to have a settling in session.  This enables children to spend up to a day (depending on their age), to make them feel at home, start to make friends and give you peace of mind that your child will be happy and settled from the very first day.

Step 4 - Joining the Brackenfield School Family 

Your child is not the only one joining Brackenfield, and you will soon feel part of the Brackenfield family. From the day you accept a place in Brackenfield, you will be invited to events so that you can meet new friends, learn about nursery and school life and find out how you can be involved with all that goes on here. Whether you are working parents or have time to spare, we will keep you informed of ways in which you can feel part of your child's experience at Brackenfield.

I cannot speak highly enough of the team at Brackenfield Nursery. From the moment our two children joined the nursery in both Robins & Wrens, they absolutely thrived.
