Admissions

Children will be eligible to start Playgroup the term after they turn 2 years.  Playgroup operates a 3 term entry, subject to availability.  All funded 2 and 3 year olds will be offered 15 hours per week.  3 year old funded children receive funding the term after they turn 3.

 

We strongly recommend that you apply at least two terms prior to you wishing your child to start due to the popularity of the Playgroup.  All places and number of sessions are subject to availability and will be reviewed each term.

 

Children are eligible to remain in Playgroup until the end of the summer term after they have turned 3.
