Nursery Admissions
You can register your child for Five Elms Nursery once your child is 2 years old. We will need you to produce original documents:
- Child's FULL Birth Certificate
- Passport
- Utility Bill or Bank Statement
- Council Tax Bill - dated within three months
We will take copies and put your child on our waiting list. This does not guarantee a place in our Nursery.

Moving forward Reception/Secondary School
Nursery transfer to Reception
Your child does not automatically transfer from Nursery into Reception.
You will receive a booklet via the Nursery Class Teacher; you will need to apply online for your child’s place. No places are guaranteed and you must apply even if your child already has a place at our nursery. If you do not follow the process in the booklet, you put your chance of getting a place at your preferred school at risk.
Year 6 transfer to Secondary School
You will receive a booklet via your child’s Class Teacher; you will need to apply online for your child’s place. No places are guaranteed and you must apply before the closing date. If you do not follow the process in the booklet, you put your chance of getting a place at your preferred school at risk.
General information
Reception/Secondary School applications
The Admissions Team offer as many places as possible based on the admission criteria as long as forms and requested documents are returned by the closing date.
