Nursery Admissions
Entitlement to Nursery Education
Children are entitled to 15 hours free Nursery education from the term that starts after their third birthday. For some children this means that they could spend five terms in Nursery until they start Reception and for others it is a maximum of three.
There is one main intake for the Nursery each year, which is in September in the Autumn term. Most children will start our Nursery at the beginning of the September following their third birthday. It may, however, be possible for children to gain a place starting mid-way through the academic year, subject to the availability.
Your child may qualify for 30 hour funding if you meet certain criteria. Details of eligibility for 30-hours funding provision can be found at:
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/30-hours-free-childcare-eligibility
Please check on the Government website to see if this applies to you before you make the Nursery application.

Reception Admissions
Chase Lane Primary School - Reception Admissions 2025
If your child was born between 1 September 2020 and 31 August 2021 and lives in Waltham Forest, they are due to start Reception in September 2025. Applications have already opened and close on the 15th January 2025.
You must apply for a Reception place for your child even if they attend a school nursery or have an older brother or sister at your preferred school. Children who go to a school nursery will not automatically get a Reception place at the same school.
Applications for entry into Reception are usually made via the local authority.
