Nursery (within primary school) admissions help please

[buttercupSE11]

Hi,

My child is November born (turned 2 last Nov). I know that you can put your child's name on a school nursery place list once they turn two, but is there any specific admissions date/deadline to do this?

I think possibly by the end of the Jan before admissions, but I bet many will take late applications (in my experience, having received offers for 3 different nurseries, they often have extra spaces to fill - though this may change with the switchover to 2.5 days which Heber did this year and Goose Green is doing next).

I know they announce places in May.

We applied for our local school's (Ivydale) pre school class & had to get the application in by Easter with offer coming just after the Whitsun half term, so it likely isn't too late. However, I'm unsure if you'd get a place for Sept if their not 3 until the November following - know in my daughter's class their all turning 4 this school year.
