Admission Policy for Little Acorns
We operate an inclusion and equality policy and ensure that all children have access to childcare places and services irrespective of their gender, race, disability, religion, belief, or sexual orientation of parents
Providing government funded places for eligible 2, 3- and 4-year-olds
To attend Little Acorns Nursery children must be between the ages of 2 years old and 4 years old.
We operate a free waiting list, and parents are encouraged to book early for places. At the time when a booking can be confirmed, a deposit of £30 is necessary to secure the place. This deposit will be reimbursed the term after your child starts with us. We prioritise 30 hour children.
Prior to a child attending our setting parents must:
• give a copy of the child’s birth certificate,
• sign a copy of the Parent Contract
• sign our terms and conditions form.
All funded sessions are in line with the Government’s Statutory Guidance and Local Authority requirements. When you register your child for their funded place, we will discuss your needs, and as far as possible with availability and staffing arrangements we will accommodate your wishes.
