Admissions and applications policy


Admissions and applications policy

 

Aim of policy

 

The aim of this policy is to clarify how we at Castle Daycare and Preschool process new children in to our settings.

 

Points to consider

 

It is the policy of Castle Daycare and Preschool that we provide a prioritised day care and education service for the children of working families or those accessing further education/training. With our commitment to families with these parent/carers we have the following criteria in place to admit children into our programmes.

We encourage all families to have looked around our setting before booking registering their child/ren with us.

 

Castle Daycare and Preschool aims to do this by:

 

·         Applications received are immediately dated and put directly onto the waiting list in order of priority and receipt. 

 

·         Placing priority applications in the following order:

 

 

Ø  Working parents/carers requiring full time care

Ø  Siblings of children already attending who require full time care

Ø  Full time placements

Ø  Siblings of children already attending part time

Ø  Part time full day places

Ø  Session care

Ø  Free entitlement stand alone sessions.

 

 

 

Government funded places

 

The first term after your child turns three: parents/carers are entitled to up to 15 flexible hours per week of free government education. This is dependent on sessions attended.

Fees for sessions at Castle Daycare and Preschool nurseries are charged for periods outside of the government funded sessions, including school holidays that are not funded by the government. Charges may also be made for meals. Please see a current fee schedule for further information of charges.

 

For more information on funding please see the Surrey County Councils current website:

 


 

This policy will be reviewed annually with Local Authorities to ensure that any regulatory or policy changes are included.
