How do I apply for a place for my child?

We operate our waiting list on a first come first served basis based on the availability of sessions requested, so we would recommend submitting your application as early as possible. Children already attending the setting have first option over changing sessions throughout the year.

Application process

To request an application form, please email us: admin@goldenowlsdaynursery.co.uk or use the ‘Contact us‘ section of our website, or paper copies are available to collect directly from the nursery.

Please complete and sign your application form along with proof of date of birth for your child. There is no registration/administration fee or deposit required.

We will add your application to our waiting list and send you an acknowledgement e-mail within 10 working days. Please contact us if you do not receive an acknowledgement. We will contact you via email to let you know if we have any places available near to your requested start date. If you are applying months/years ahead of when your child is due to start we will be in touch nearer the time, but as a general guide for children starting in September we endeavour to let you know what places are available to you by the end of the preceding April.

When we have made you an offer of a place at Golden Owls Day Nursery we will email you written confirmation for you to sign and return. If we do not hear from you we will attempt to contact you again but if we do not hear back by the deadline set we will offer out the vacancy to the next child on the waiting list.

Once we have received your signed confirmation we will then send you some more information about settling-in, where you will be required to complete some additional information regarding permissions, emergency contacts, invoicing and funding forms where appropriate.

Please speak to our Administrator or Nursery Manager if you have any queries regarding the application process.
