INFORMATION
How do I enrol my child?
Children can start pre-school once they have turned 18 months. We strongly advice registering your child as soon as possible to ensure you get a place. To register simply go to our Groups page to see if you need to register with Raindrops or Rainbows and complete the Application to Join form and return to us.
The half term before your child’s start date we will contact you to arrange some settling in sessions, you can have 2 hours a week so can either do 1 x 2 hours session or 2 x 1 hour sessions until your child starts. You will just drop your child and return to collect them.
