Policies & Procedures

Admissions and Bookings

1. If there is not a place available on the requested session, in the first instance an alternative session will be offered. If an alternative is unavailable or not required the Pre School Manager will place your child on a waiting list.
2. On a waiting list, an older child will take priority over a younger child
3. On a waiting list Children living within the Parish of Cowfold will take priority over children living outside the Parish. On rare occasions we do have to disappoint some parents, please do keep your child on the waiting list and we will advise you of a place when it becomes available.
4. We accept children in nappies and training pants. We have potties and toilet trainer seats for those children who prefer to use them.
5. All Children will be accepted for a “settling in period” on one half term.
6. It is recommended that two year olds attend a maximum of two sessions per week during their settling in period. After this time additional sessions may be requested from the Pre School Manager, all sessions are subject to availability.
7. A Child may attend a Friday Fun Club/Rising 5’s when they become funded. This session is aimed at older children in their year approaching starting school.
8. If a Child has a pre-existing medical condition that will involve staff administering medication, the Pre School Manager must be made aware of this in the first instance when completing our Registration Form.
To apply for a place at the Pre School, a parent must complete the Registration Form, found within the Prospectus and return it to the Pre School Manager, together with a registration fee of £10.00. This fee is to cover administration costs and is non-refundable.
If you no longer require a place at the Pre School one terms’ notice must be given in writing to the Pre School Manager.
