ADMISSION TO NURSERY SEPTEMBER 2019 – INFORMATION FOR PARENTS Please read these notes carefully before completing your application form. You are strongly advised to read the Starting School Booklet 2019/20 as this contains more detailed information on the application process. A copy of the booklet is available via or by post upon request. Important: Please ensure that you complete a nursery admission application for your child to start nursery in September 2019. Your child will not be able to start nursery without following the application process. Whether you chose to apply online or via a paper application form, please ensure that it is returned prior to the closing date of 12th October 2018 at 12 midday in order to increase the possibilities of your child obtaining a place at the preferred nursery. How many nurseries should I apply for? Parents are invited to express up to three preferences (in order of priority) in the event that admission to the preferred nursery has been refused. Parents / guardians are encouraged to include more than 1 preference on their application for consideration. In the event that your preferred nursery is refused, failure to put more than one preference will result in the authority allocating a place at your next nearest available nursery. Should you inform us of alternative preferences after this decision has been taken, all of the available places at your alternative nurseries may be taken. Monmouthshire County Council operates an equal preference scheme. This means that each of your preferences will be considered equally and prioritised on the basis of the Local Authority's oversubscription criteria. In the event that more than one of your preferences can be accommodated, your highest ranked preference will be offered. Who should make the application? Applications for admission into nursery must be completed by the person that holds parental responsibility for the child. All parties holding parental responsibility must agree to the application that is being submitted. Should there be any disputes between those holding parental responsibility in relation to the application, the Local Authority will not be able to proceed with the application request until the dispute has been resolved.
