Applying for a Pre-School Place 

Your child is eligible for a Pre-School place from the September after they turn 3. Research shows that children who attend a nursery school tend to have the best outcomes by the age of 8, so we would encourage you to consider Eyres Monsell Pre-School for your child.

We offer fully flexible session options, allowing you to choose anywhere between 15 hours (Universal Funding) or 30 hours (Extended Funding), depending on eligibility. You can check whether you are eligible for Extended Funding by clicking the link below:

The Pre-School provision at Eyres Monsell Primary School is excellent. Our experienced and dedicated staff work to foster awe and wonder in every child, providing a unique and stimulating environment. To learn more about our classroom environment, please visit the 'Pre-School' page under the 'Pupils' tab on our website.

To take this important first step, please contact the office in person to register your interest (or call 0116 277 3855). Alternatively, you can fill out the e-form below or click this link: Eyres Monsell Pre-School - Expression Of Interest Form

We will add your child to the list of new children for that academic year. Around Easter (March/April), we will reach out to confirm whether you still require a school place for your child and guide you through the next steps.

Please note that our Pre-School is often oversubscribed, so we encourage you to apply early to ensure the best chance of securing a place for your child. We also consider mid-year admissions, subject to availability of spaces.
