Admissions, Funded Hours & Early Years Charges
Once your child has reached the age of one year, you can place their name on the school Register of Applicants by completing the standard form available from the office.
We will require to verify your child’s original birth certificate and proof of address along with any other evidence to support your application.
Nursery places are allocated in line with Glasgow City Council’s Admissions and Banding policy and discussed at a local Admission Panel.
When your first choice of Nursery cannot be given, consideration will be given to your second or third preferred nursery.
Where a place cannot be offered within any of the three preferred nurseries every effort will be made by the panel to offer an alternative place.
Eligibility for funded placements and the cost of Early Years provision will vary according to a child's age and family circumstances. Details of Early Years Charging Rates are available from the nursery office and in the nursery handbook.
The purchase of additional hours over the 1140 funded hours is only permitted if availability allows and there are no children awaiting placements at Kelvin Park EYC and at other local nurseries that sit in the local Admissions Panel.
Enrolment
Children will be invited to play for one hour on their first day at nursery and parents/carers will be asked to complete enrolment forms.
The settling in process is gradual to allow children to form relationships and familiarise themselves with their new environment.
Every child is individual therefore settling in will differ from child to child. Key workers will work with parents/carers to ensure children settle into nursery at a pace that meets their needs.
