nurseries will commence week beginning 20 February 2012
for all places in school session 2012- 2013.
Parents wishing to apply for a
pre-school education [pdf 733KB] place for eligible children
should contact their local
nursery or primary school which has a nursery class (all
primary schools also have copies of registration forms).
Please note : A place in a local authority nursery class does not
give priority in gaining a place in the same school when
enrolling for Primary One.
