Oakwood Infant and Nursery School has a 78 place Nursery.

We offer a choice of either:

• Free funded 15 hour places at the start of the week - Monday and Tuesday

        (09:00-15:00 each day) and Wednesday (09:00-12:00)

• Free funded 15 hour places at the end of the week - Wednesday (12:30-15:30) and

        Thursday and Friday (09:00-15:00 each day)

• Extended 30 hour funded places (Monday to Friday - 09:00-15:00 daily) - please note that the 30 hour places are dependent on parental eligibility.

Children are normally admitted to the Nursery in the September after their third birthday.  However, we may be able to offer your child a place to start Nursery in the January or April following their third birthday, subject to availability of Nursery places.

We are currently taking waitlist applications for April 2022 for free 15 hour end of the week places and for September 2022 for extended funded 30 hour places and free 15 hour start of the week places.

Parents who wish their child to be considered for a Nursery place should complete a Nursery Waiting List form and return this (hard copy or via email) to the School Office.

Parents are usually contacted at the end of the Spring Term (February/March) to confirm their child has a place to join the Nursery in the September of that year.

Where applications for Nursery places exceed the total number of places available, Oakwood Nursery follows the same admission criteria as the Derby City Council school admission arrangements - further details can be found at:  https://www.derby.gov.uk/education-and-learning/schools-and-colleges/school-admissions/admission-arrangements-policies/
