At Highters Heath Nursery School, we have three separate intakes each academic year (September, January, April).
Children are able to start Nursery the term after their 3rd birthday, or the term after their 2nd birthday if they are an eligible 2 year old.
Most of our children start in September at the beginning of the autumn term. However, more children can join us at the beginning of the spring and summer terms, if space allows. Term Dates
With each intake, we can only accept children up until the dates of each terms' census as we can only claim funding for the children who are listed on our census for that term. We are only able to accept new pupils after the census if they are fee-paying children.
See below for approximate census dates:
Autumn term – first week of October
Spring term – third week of January
Summer term – third week of May
Please note there will most likely only be a small number of spaces available for our January and April intakes, and we may even reach full capacity in the autumn term and have no spaces left to offer in the new year. Therefore, if your child is eligible to start Nursery, you may be better off applying for a September place and starting Nursery earlier than planned.
As we are a Local Authority Maintained Nursery School, we follow the Birmingham City Council admissions policy and criteria. Therefore, if we have more applicants than places, we will order applicants according to the admissions criteria which are as follows:
EHCP - Any child with an Education, Health and Care Plan with Highters Heath Nursery School named on the plan
LAC - Looked after children or children who were previously looked after (including previously looked after children from outside of England)
Siblings - children with an older brother or sister who will still be attending the school when they start
Distance - children who live nearest the school, (accurate measurements taken via google maps)
Please read our Admissions Policy for further information.
