Nursery Admissions
Our nursery class caters for children between the ages of 2 - 4 years old. (Children can be admitted to the nursery the full term after they turn 2.) Admission will be subject to an application being made and places available.
We have three admissions rounds in an academic year: September, January and April. If you are looking for a place in our nursery that is past the next admissions event, please email us at info@hardwickschool.org to be advised on when it is best to apply.
