Registering your child with us

We pride ourselves on providing a welcoming environment, with a nurturing team providing exceptional care and education for children aged between 2 to 5 years old. 

Children 3 years and over can attend Nursery for full days from 8.45am to 2.45pm. 2 year olds generally start with morning sessions only and can build up to full days closer to their 3rd birthday and if we feel they can cope with the longer days. However, our younger ones can stay for our 2-year-old Lunch Club available from 11.45am to 1pm.

We currently run Breakfast Club Monday to Fridays from 7.45am to 8.45am.  We run Afterschool Club Monday to Thursday with the option to stay until either 3.45pm or 4.30pm.

The first step is to visit the Nursery with your child to have a tour and meet with our staff. We will give you our Registration Form along with Terms & Conditions. Once registered, we will then arrange a time for your child to settle in after confirming availability of sessions and a start date.

We operate an inclusion and equality policy and ensure that all children have access to nursery places and services irrespective of their gender, race, disability, religion or beliefs. For more information regarding registering with us, please speak to a member of the Nursery team or contact us via our Nursery website.

Children can start at Abinger Common Nursery from their 2nd birthday.

They do not need to be potty trained. 

Allocation of places will be prioritised as follows: 

• Siblings of children already attending the Nursery.
• Children living directly in the village of Abinger Common.
• Children in their final Nursery year living in the villages surrounding Abinger Common at the time of entry.
• Children living in the villages surrounding Abinger Common at the time of entry. 
• Other applicants.
