Information for Parents
Dear Parents This booklet includes contact details of nursery schools and classes provided by Lancashire County Council. It aims to answer some of the questions parents ask about applying for places. It also explains where to obtain other information which is available to help you. Lancashire's maintained nursery schools and nursery classes in community and voluntary controlled schools offer up to 15 hours per week of provision. Some will also be able to offer more flexibility to greater meet the needs of children, parents and carers. Children who reach age 3 by 31 August 2017 will be eligible for the provision from September 2017. It is recommended that you contact the nursery school or class which you are considering in order to obtain more detailed information about exactly what provision will be available. We hope you will find the booklet useful. We do welcome any comments and suggestions on content and format. We know that many children enjoy and benefit from attending a nursery school or class. High quality early years education can play a vital part in ensuring children realise their potential. It is hoped this booklet will assist you in finding the right placement for your child, if you decide to opt for a Lancashire County Council maintained school or class. Yours sincerely
Bob Stott Head of Children's Services

NURSERY SCHOOL ADMISSIONS 2017/18
Information for Parents
General Information Since 2010, the national early years strategy has increased the free provision offered to 15 hours per week. This will apply to all children who are 3 years old by 31 August 2017. It is accompanied by increased flexibility in patterns of provision away from the previous standard offered in Lancashire which was either all mornings or all afternoons. The patterns of provision which are available will vary from nursery to nursery and you are advised to liaise with your preferred school/nursery prior to submitting your application. The admission criteria for Lancashire's maintained nursery schools and nursery classes within community and voluntary controlled schools are included in this booklet (please note Section 2). It is strongly recommended that you carefully note all of the information in this booklet and that you seek information and assistance if required via individual schools/nurseries or at the other contact points given (please note Section 6). In Section 5 of this booklet (pages 9 - 22) the number of places available at each nursery is shown in column 5. A single figure indicates the number of places available in the morning and afternoon (e.g. 26 = 26 places am plus 26 places pm). If there is a variation between mornings and afternoons, or the nursery only offers part day provision, this is shown in column 5.
FREE EARLY EDUCATION FOR 2 YEAR OLDS From the term after a child reaches a second birthday, he or she may be able to have 15 hours per week of free / flexible child care (for 38 weeks of the year). If this is available it is paid for by the Government. The provider (nursery, playgroup, child minder etc.) receives the funding. This provision is not prevalent in Lancashire's nursery schools and classes. Further information can be found on the Lancashire County Council website on the 'children, education and families' page, under the Free Early Education for two year olds' section.
PRIMARY SCHOOL (RECEPTION CLASS) ADMISSIONS Please note that admissions to primary school reception classes are a completely separate process from nursery school and nursery class admissions. If you have a child on roll at a nursery school or class he/she will not automatically go to the associated primary school. For children requiring primary school admission in September 2017 (those who will be 4 years old between 01/09/16 and 31/08/17) there is a different application procedure. Advice is available from the Area Pupil Access Teams – contact details are on page 23 of this booklet.

Information for Parents
SECTION 1: Nursery Provision Lancashire County Council Providers This booklet gives details about nursery schools and classes provided by Lancashire County Council. Nursery schools admit only pre-school children (those who are too young to be eligible for primary school admission). Nursery classes are attached to infant or primary schools*. The booklet also lists Lancashire County Council's special schools which offer nursery provision to a small number of children with special educational needs (SEN). * PRIMARY (RECEPTION) CLASS ADMISSIONS Please note that if your child is admitted to a nursery class attached to an infant or primary school this does not mean that he or she will subsequently be automatically entitled to attend that school's reception class. The primary school admissions process is an entirely separate procedure and all parents must apply separately at a later date for places in primary schools for each child. Attendance at a nursery class attached to a school does not therefore increase a child's priority for a place at that school.
Other Providers Other providers include private, day nurseries, pre-school playgroups, nursery units of independent schools and childminders. The Family Information Service can provide you with a list of these providers on request (see page 23). The Family Information Service also produces a helpful range of guidance booklets for parents to help you look for and choose suitable childcare to meet your family's needs. They can even help by providing entitlement advice to help you pay towards the cost of childcare including advice on claiming free childcare places for all 3 and 4 year old children and some 2 year olds also.
Hours of Provision and Sessions Entitlement is up to 15 hours per week of free provision (38 weeks of the year). You are also advised to contact the nursery school or class which you are considering if you wish to discuss what services are available (e.g. breakfast clubs and after school clubs) and the pattern of provision which you would require.
HOURS AND PATTERN OF PROVISION Lancashire's maintained nursery schools and nursery classes in community and voluntary controlled schools can offer up to a maximum of 15 hours per week of provision (the maximum hours permitted each term are:- Autumn 210 hours; Spring 165 hours and Summer 195 hours). Parents may receive their free Early Years entitlement from one or two providers (two is the maximum). Where more than one provider is being accessed parents must divulge this information to each provider.

SECTION 2: Nursery admissions policy Lancashire County Council Providers The nursery schools and classes listed in section 5 fall into two categories. For those which are designated as community or voluntary controlled (C or VC) Lancashire County Council determines the admission arrangements. For voluntary aided, foundation and academy (VA, F and AC) nursery schools and classes it is the individual Governing Bodies which set the admission arrangements.
Admission Policy for Maintained Nursery Schools and Nursery Classes in Community and Voluntary Controlled Schools (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) (v) (vi)
Children in public care (looked after children) or those children at risk of becoming looked after. Children with Education, Health and Care Plans (Special Educational Needs) and those with exceptional/strong SEN reasons for attending a particular school/setting. Exceptional/strong medical, social, welfare reasons (associated with the child and/or the family) for attending a particular school/setting. Children who will have a sibling in attendance at the time of their admission. Parents/carers who provide evidence of training/education at a local establishment, working locally or established local childcare arrangements (at the time of the child's admission). Those living nearest the school/setting.
Notes • • • •
In relation to (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) parents must provide the necessary evidence and contact names/e-mail/telephone numbers with their application. For criteria (iv) siblings are defined as brothers, sisters, step brothers, step sisters, half brothers, half sisters, adopted and fostered children living with the same family at the same address. In relation to (vi) measures will be in a straight line (centre of building to centre of building). Criteria (vi) will be used as a tie break should there be oversubscription within any of the stated admission criteria.
In most cases, children will be admitted to the nursery school or class of their parent's preference. Occasionally however a school or class will receive more applications than there are available places. Parents will be able to seek provision elsewhere and can also request that their child's name be placed on a waiting list for places at their preferred school or class. Should places become available then these will be offered in accordance with the published admission criteria and not on a first come first served basis.
Medical Social and Welfare Reasons If you feel that there are exceptional medical, social or welfare reasons associated with your child and/or family which support admission to a particular nursery you must indicate that this is the case on your application. These may include serious medical or psychological needs or disabilities which make travel more difficult. Please bear in mind that all nurseries can make provision for special educational needs and can also manage common medical conditions e.g. asthma, epilepsy, diabetes and allergies. Where exceptional medical, social or welfare reasons are identified supporting evidence will be required. This may be from whatever source(s) the applicant feels are most appropriate. Examples of provider's evidence are doctors, health visitors, social workers. Only exceptional reasons relevant to a particular school or class will normally be considered.

NURSERY SCHOOL ADMISSIONS 2017/18
Information for Parents
If you do not provide supporting evidence then it will not be possible to consider the application under the medical, social and welfare criteria. Parents may apply for nursery places and send supporting evidence at a later date. It is strongly recommended however that this is submitted by the closing date for applications. After the closing date, during the early stages of the allocation process, all claims of exceptional medical, social and welfare reasons are considered. Where the reasons claimed are not considered exceptional, then the application will then be dealt with under the other admission criteria for the nursery school/class. All information which is submitted will be considered as being confidential.
Training, education, local work or local established child care. If you require that an application for a nursery place be considered under this criteria then you must provide evidence to support your application. This may include:-
written confirmation from a college/training provider of your future enrolment or current participation. This should confirm the start and end dates of any programme and the day and hours per week of your participation.
-
written confirmation from an employer of your place/address of work and the days/hours per week involved.
-
written confirmation from a childminder about any existing or ongoing child care arrangements including the date on which they started and the address where the child is situated under the arrangement.
Single Remaining Place – Additional Tie Break If a single place remains available at a nursery school or class and the next application is for twins/triplets etc then flexibility will be exercised wherever possibly to allocate places for both/all of the children. Individual nursery schools and classes must liaise with the Local Authority if this situation arises. Where a single place remains and there is more than one remaining applicant, an additional tie break may occasionally be required e.g. where there are two identical measures for the single remaining place. In these circumstances a random draw will determine which child will be offered the place. ACCURACY OF APPLICATIONS In relation to all applications individual nurseries and the Local Authority or the governing body of a voluntary aided or funded school/class will investigate the accuracy of any information which is provided. Places may be withdrawn if they have been offered based on inaccurate information. VOLUNTARY AIDED, FOUNDATION, ACADEMY OR FREE SCHOOL NURSERIES Please note that the Governing Bodies of these nursery schools and classes determine their own admission arrangements and the criteria for admission may therefore be different from those detailed above (e.g. there may not be a medical, social, welfare criterion). You are advised to contact an individual nursery school or class if you wish to clarify its admission criteria. ENTITLEMENT TO FREE PROVISION Please note that if you have access to 15 hpw of free provision at a maintained* nursery school or class then you cannot also have free provision at a private, voluntary or independent nursery.

SECTION 3: Eligibility and how to apply Who is eligible for free nursery provision? All children who are 3 years old by 31 August 2017 (prior to starting at a nursery school or class in September 2017) will be considered for admission. Applications should be completed and returned to individual nurseries by Friday 20 January 2017.
How do I/We apply? •
You may place your child's name on the list held by a nursery school or class of those interested in a place in the future. This can be done when the child is 2 years old (or earlier if you wish). This is only a list of interest and you must still formally apply on the nursery application form at the appropriate time to have the child considered for admission in accordance with the specified criteria (see Section 2, page 5).
•
Information about nursery schools and classes is available from individual schools and settings (as listed in this booklet and on the list of other providers available from the Family Information Service). Information and advice is also available from other contact points as listed in Section 6, page 23.
•
An application form will be available from the nursery school or class between September and December in the year prior to the child requiring a place. The closing date for applications is normally set around mid January (prior to the September start date). Please ensure that you submit your application by the stipulated closing date. There is no guarantee that late applications will be considered along with those received on time. Parents may be asked to provide evidence of the reasons for a late application in order that individual schools or classes can decide whether to accept it along with applications received by the closing date.
•
Please provide as much relevant information as possible with your application. You may provide additional supporting evidence yourself or via relevant professionals (e.g. health visitors, social worker, doctors, educational psychologists etc
•
If your circumstances are likely to change during the application period or after the offer date (but ahead of the September 2017 start date) please give details on your application. This could include address changes or changes in your work, childcare or education/training which may affect the priority of your application.
INFORMATION AND ADVICE If you require assistance or advice in relation to completing a nursery school or class application then this is available at your preferred school or setting. Please contact them and ask when it would be convenient to visit. You are also welcome to seek information and advice from the various contacts listed in this booklet (Section 6, page 23).
CHARGING PARENTS FOR PLACES The Governing Bodies of Lancashire's maintained* nursery schools and classes must not charge parents for available places. (*maintained means funded via the Local Authority)

SECTION 4: Offers of places – September 2017 1.
After the closing date (Friday 20 January 2017 for places starting in September 2017) the nursery school or class admissions committee will meet. This will be during Spring term and they will agree admissions and/or apply the oversubscription criteria where there are more applications than available places.
2.
Around Easter 2017 you will receive an offer letter from the school or class offering a place for your child. This will include an acceptance form which must be completed and returned.
3.
If you do not confirm acceptance the school/class may remind you with a deadline date for your response. After that date the place offered will usually be withdrawn.
4.
Prior to accepting the offer you should be committed to your child regularly attending. Places may be withdrawn where attendance is unsatisfactory.
5.
You should check that the hours and pattern of provision offered is acceptable. A commitment to regular attendance is essential as places may be withdrawn if this is unsatisfactory.
6.
If you are not offered a place your child's name will be placed on the school or class waiting list. If places become available these will be offered in accordance with the admission criteria (Section 2, page 5).
7.
Places are offered to commence at the beginning of the school year (September 2017). Most schools and classes will invite you and your child to visit during the Summer term.
8.
If you do not require an offered place or if there will be a delay in a place being taken up you must inform the school or class immediately.
HOURS AND PATTERN OF PROVISION (also see page 4) There may in some instances be the need for prior contact from the nursery school/class with individual applicants about their requested hours and/or pattern of provision. This may lead to negotiation and agreement about what is available at that setting. Referrals to other local providers as possible options may also be an outcome. In addition shared provision may be suggested as a possible consideration in certain circumstances. Any discussions which are necessary will be aimed at meeting the needs of applicants by signposting provision at that setting and in the area as a whole and highlighting the overall strategy of flexibility. PLEASE NOTE THAT IF YOU ACCESS THE MAXIMUM 15 HPW OF FREE PROVISION AT A MAINTAINED* NURSERY SCHOOL OR CLASS THEN YOU CANNOT ALSO HAVE FREE PROVISION AT A PRIVATE, VOLUNTARY OR INDEPENDENT NURSERY. (* Maintained means funded via the Local Authority) OFFERS OF PLACES AT OTHER TIMES OF THE YEAR Available places will remain at some nursery schools and classes throughout the year or may become available during the year. These can be filled during the year and places must be offered to children from the first day of term after their 3rd birthday (not immediately the child reaches age 3). Parents may contact individual nursery schools and classes at any time to enquire about available places. Where the demand for places exceeds availability during the year the admission criteria in this booklet will be used to allocate. Parents will also be asked to complete the application form. Filling places other than at the main September intake date is often referred to as "topping up".

NURSERY SCHOOL ADMISSIONS 2017/18
Information for Parents
Dear Parents This booklet includes contact details of nursery schools and classes provided by Lancashire County Council. It aims to answer some of the questions parents ask about applying for places. It also explains where to obtain other information which is available to help you. Lancashire's maintained nursery schools and nursery classes in community and voluntary controlled schools offer up to 15 hours per week of provision. Some will also be able to offer more flexibility to greater meet the needs of children, parents and carers. Children who reach age 3 by 31 August 2017 will be eligible for the provision from September 2017. It is recommended that you contact the nursery school or class which you are considering in order to obtain more detailed information about exactly what provision will be available. We hope you will find the booklet useful. We do welcome any comments and suggestions on content and format. We know that many children enjoy and benefit from attending a nursery school or class. High quality early years education can play a vital part in ensuring children realise their potential. It is hoped this booklet will assist you in finding the right placement for your child, if you decide to opt for a Lancashire County Council maintained school or class. Yours sincerely
Bob Stott Head of Children's Services

NURSERY SCHOOL ADMISSIONS 2017/18
Information for Parents
General Information Since 2010, the national early years strategy has increased the free provision offered to 15 hours per week. This will apply to all children who are 3 years old by 31 August 2017. It is accompanied by increased flexibility in patterns of provision away from the previous standard offered in Lancashire which was either all mornings or all afternoons. The patterns of provision which are available will vary from nursery to nursery and you are advised to liaise with your preferred school/nursery prior to submitting your application. The admission criteria for Lancashire's maintained nursery schools and nursery classes within community and voluntary controlled schools are included in this booklet (please note Section 2). It is strongly recommended that you carefully note all of the information in this booklet and that you seek information and assistance if required via individual schools/nurseries or at the other contact points given (please note Section 6). In Section 5 of this booklet (pages 9 - 22) the number of places available at each nursery is shown in column 5. A single figure indicates the number of places available in the morning and afternoon (e.g. 26 = 26 places am plus 26 places pm). If there is a variation between mornings and afternoons, or the nursery only offers part day provision, this is shown in column 5.
FREE EARLY EDUCATION FOR 2 YEAR OLDS From the term after a child reaches a second birthday, he or she may be able to have 15 hours per week of free / flexible child care (for 38 weeks of the year). If this is available it is paid for by the Government. The provider (nursery, playgroup, child minder etc.) receives the funding. This provision is not prevalent in Lancashire's nursery schools and classes. Further information can be found on the Lancashire County Council website on the 'children, education and families' page, under the Free Early Education for two year olds' section.
PRIMARY SCHOOL (RECEPTION CLASS) ADMISSIONS Please note that admissions to primary school reception classes are a completely separate process from nursery school and nursery class admissions. If you have a child on roll at a nursery school or class he/she will not automatically go to the associated primary school. For children requiring primary school admission in September 2017 (those who will be 4 years old between 01/09/16 and 31/08/17) there is a different application procedure. Advice is available from the Area Pupil Access Teams – contact details are on page 23 of this booklet.

NURSERY SCHOOL ADMISSIONS 2017/18
Information for Parents
SECTION 1: Nursery Provision Lancashire County Council Providers This booklet gives details about nursery schools and classes provided by Lancashire County Council. Nursery schools admit only pre-school children (those who are too young to be eligible for primary school admission). Nursery classes are attached to infant or primary schools*. The booklet also lists Lancashire County Council's special schools which offer nursery provision to a small number of children with special educational needs (SEN). * PRIMARY (RECEPTION) CLASS ADMISSIONS Please note that if your child is admitted to a nursery class attached to an infant or primary school this does not mean that he or she will subsequently be automatically entitled to attend that school's reception class. The primary school admissions process is an entirely separate procedure and all parents must apply separately at a later date for places in primary schools for each child. Attendance at a nursery class attached to a school does not therefore increase a child's priority for a place at that school.
Other Providers Other providers include private, day nurseries, pre-school playgroups, nursery units of independent schools and childminders. The Family Information Service can provide you with a list of these providers on request (see page 23). The Family Information Service also produces a helpful range of guidance booklets for parents to help you look for and choose suitable childcare to meet your family's needs. They can even help by providing entitlement advice to help you pay towards the cost of childcare including advice on claiming free childcare places for all 3 and 4 year old children and some 2 year olds also.
Hours of Provision and Sessions Entitlement is up to 15 hours per week of free provision (38 weeks of the year). You are also advised to contact the nursery school or class which you are considering if you wish to discuss what services are available (e.g. breakfast clubs and after school clubs) and the pattern of provision which you would require.
HOURS AND PATTERN OF PROVISION Lancashire's maintained nursery schools and nursery classes in community and voluntary controlled schools can offer up to a maximum of 15 hours per week of provision (the maximum hours permitted each term are:- Autumn 210 hours; Spring 165 hours and Summer 195 hours). Parents may receive their free Early Years entitlement from one or two providers (two is the maximum). Where more than one provider is being accessed parents must divulge this information to each provider.

NURSERY SCHOOL ADMISSIONS 2017/18
Information for Parents
SECTION 2: Nursery admissions policy Lancashire County Council Providers The nursery schools and classes listed in section 5 fall into two categories. For those which are designated as community or voluntary controlled (C or VC) Lancashire County Council determines the admission arrangements. For voluntary aided, foundation and academy (VA, F and AC) nursery schools and classes it is the individual Governing Bodies which set the admission arrangements.
Admission Policy for Maintained Nursery Schools and Nursery Classes in Community and Voluntary Controlled Schools (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) (v) (vi)
Children in public care (looked after children) or those children at risk of becoming looked after. Children with Education, Health and Care Plans (Special Educational Needs) and those with exceptional/strong SEN reasons for attending a particular school/setting. Exceptional/strong medical, social, welfare reasons (associated with the child and/or the family) for attending a particular school/setting. Children who will have a sibling in attendance at the time of their admission. Parents/carers who provide evidence of training/education at a local establishment, working locally or established local childcare arrangements (at the time of the child's admission). Those living nearest the school/setting.
Notes • • • •
In relation to (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) parents must provide the necessary evidence and contact names/e-mail/telephone numbers with their application. For criteria (iv) siblings are defined as brothers, sisters, step brothers, step sisters, half brothers, half sisters, adopted and fostered children living with the same family at the same address. In relation to (vi) measures will be in a straight line (centre of building to centre of building). Criteria (vi) will be used as a tie break should there be oversubscription within any of the stated admission criteria.
In most cases, children will be admitted to the nursery school or class of their parent's preference. Occasionally however a school or class will receive more applications than there are available places. Parents will be able to seek provision elsewhere and can also request that their child's name be placed on a waiting list for places at their preferred school or class. Should places become available then these will be offered in accordance with the published admission criteria and not on a first come first served basis.
Medical Social and Welfare Reasons If you feel that there are exceptional medical, social or welfare reasons associated with your child and/or family which support admission to a particular nursery you must indicate that this is the case on your application. These may include serious medical or psychological needs or disabilities which make travel more difficult. Please bear in mind that all nurseries can make provision for special educational needs and can also manage common medical conditions e.g. asthma, epilepsy, diabetes and allergies. Where exceptional medical, social or welfare reasons are identified supporting evidence will be required. This may be from whatever source(s) the applicant feels are most appropriate. Examples of provider's evidence are doctors, health visitors, social workers. Only exceptional reasons relevant to a particular school or class will normally be considered.
APPLICATION FORM AVAILABLE FROM NURSERY

NURSERY SCHOOL ADMISSIONS 2017/18
Information for Parents
If you do not provide supporting evidence then it will not be possible to consider the application under the medical, social and welfare criteria. Parents may apply for nursery places and send supporting evidence at a later date. It is strongly recommended however that this is submitted by the closing date for applications. After the closing date, during the early stages of the allocation process, all claims of exceptional medical, social and welfare reasons are considered. Where the reasons claimed are not considered exceptional, then the application will then be dealt with under the other admission criteria for the nursery school/class. All information which is submitted will be considered as being confidential.
Training, education, local work or local established child care. If you require that an application for a nursery place be considered under this criteria then you must provide evidence to support your application. This may include:-
written confirmation from a college/training provider of your future enrolment or current participation. This should confirm the start and end dates of any programme and the day and hours per week of your participation.
-
written confirmation from an employer of your place/address of work and the days/hours per week involved.
-
written confirmation from a childminder about any existing or ongoing child care arrangements including the date on which they started and the address where the child is situated under the arrangement.
Single Remaining Place – Additional Tie Break If a single place remains available at a nursery school or class and the next application is for twins/triplets etc then flexibility will be exercised wherever possibly to allocate places for both/all of the children. Individual nursery schools and classes must liaise with the Local Authority if this situation arises. Where a single place remains and there is more than one remaining applicant, an additional tie break may occasionally be required e.g. where there are two identical measures for the single remaining place. In these circumstances a random draw will determine which child will be offered the place. ACCURACY OF APPLICATIONS In relation to all applications individual nurseries and the Local Authority or the governing body of a voluntary aided or funded school/class will investigate the accuracy of any information which is provided. Places may be withdrawn if they have been offered based on inaccurate information. VOLUNTARY AIDED, FOUNDATION, ACADEMY OR FREE SCHOOL NURSERIES Please note that the Governing Bodies of these nursery schools and classes determine their own admission arrangements and the criteria for admission may therefore be different from those detailed above (e.g. there may not be a medical, social, welfare criterion).

NURSERY SCHOOL ADMISSIONS 2017/18
Information for Parents
SECTION 3: Eligibility and how to apply Who is eligible for free nursery provision? All children who are 3 years old by 31 August 2017 (prior to starting at a nursery school or class in September 2017) will be considered for admission. Applications should be completed and returned to individual nurseries by Friday 20 January 2017.
How do I/We apply? •
You may place your child's name on the list held by a nursery school or class of those interested in a place in the future. This can be done when the child is 2 years old (or earlier if you wish). This is only a list of interest and you must still formally apply on the nursery application form at the appropriate time to have the child considered for admission in accordance with the specified criteria (see Section 2, page 5).
•
Information about nursery schools and classes is available from individual schools and settings (as listed in this booklet and on the list of other providers available from the Family Information Service). Information and advice is also available from other contact points as listed in Section 6, page 23.
•
An application form will be available from the nursery school or class between September and December in the year prior to the child requiring a place. The closing date for applications is normally set around mid January (prior to the September start date). Please ensure that you submit your application by the stipulated closing date. There is no guarantee that late applications will be considered along with those received on time. Parents may be asked to provide evidence of the reasons for a late application in order that individual schools or classes can decide whether to accept it along with applications received by the closing date.
•
Please provide as much relevant information as possible with your application. You may provide additional supporting evidence yourself or via relevant professionals (e.g. health visitors, social worker, doctors, educational psychologists etc
•
If your circumstances are likely to change during the application period or after the offer date (but ahead of the September 2017 start date) please give details on your application. This could include address changes or changes in your work, childcare or education/training which may affect the priority of your application.
INFORMATION AND ADVICE If you require assistance or advice in relation to completing a nursery school or class application then this is available at your preferred school or setting. Please contact them and ask when it would be convenient to visit. You are also welcome to seek information and advice from the various contacts listed in this booklet (Section 6, page 23).
CHARGING PARENTS FOR PLACES The Governing Bodies of Lancashire's maintained* nursery schools and classes must not charge parents for available places. (*maintained means funded via the Local Authority)

NURSERY SCHOOL ADMISSIONS 2017/18
Information for Parents
SECTION 4: Offers of places – September 2017 1.
After the closing date (Friday 20 January 2017 for places starting in September 2017) the nursery school or class admissions committee will meet. This will be during Spring term and they will agree admissions and/or apply the oversubscription criteria where there are more applications than available places.
2.
Around Easter 2017 you will receive an offer letter from the school or class offering a place for your child. This will include an acceptance form which must be completed and returned.
3.
If you do not confirm acceptance the school/class may remind you with a deadline date for your response. After that date the place offered will usually be withdrawn.
4.
Prior to accepting the offer you should be committed to your child regularly attending. Places may be withdrawn where attendance is unsatisfactory.
5.
You should check that the hours and pattern of provision offered is acceptable. A commitment to regular attendance is essential as places may be withdrawn if this is unsatisfactory.
6.
If you are not offered a place your child's name will be placed on the school or class waiting list. If places become available these will be offered in accordance with the admission criteria (Section 2, page 5).
7.
Places are offered to commence at the beginning of the school year (September 2017). Most schools and classes will invite you and your child to visit during the Summer term.
8.
If you do not require an offered place or if there will be a delay in a place being taken up you must inform the school or class immediately.
HOURS AND PATTERN OF PROVISION (also see page 4) There may in some instances be the need for prior contact from the nursery school/class with individual applicants about their requested hours and/or pattern of provision. This may lead to negotiation and agreement about what is available at that setting. Referrals to other local providers as possible options may also be an outcome. In addition shared provision may be suggested as a possible consideration in certain circumstances. Any discussions which are necessary will be aimed at meeting the needs of applicants by signposting provision at that setting and in the area as a whole and highlighting the overall strategy of flexibility. PLEASE NOTE THAT IF YOU ACCESS THE MAXIMUM 15 HPW OF FREE PROVISION AT A MAINTAINED* NURSERY SCHOOL OR CLASS THEN YOU CANNOT ALSO HAVE FREE PROVISION AT A PRIVATE, VOLUNTARY OR INDEPENDENT NURSERY. (* Maintained means funded via the Local Authority) OFFERS OF PLACES AT OTHER TIMES OF THE YEAR Available places will remain at some nursery schools and classes throughout the year or may become available during the year. These can be filled during the year and places must be offered to children from the first day of term after their 3rd birthday (not immediately the child reaches age 3). Parents may contact individual nursery schools and classes at any time to enquire about available places. Where the demand for places exceeds availability during the year the admission criteria in this booklet will be used to allocate. Parents will also be asked to complete the application form. Filling places other than at the main September intake date is often referred to as "topping up".
