Nursery Registration
Registration for pre-school education places in local authority managed nursery schools and classes will commence week beginning 22 February 2010 for all places in school session 2010 - 2011.
Parents wishing to apply for a pre-school education place for eligible children should contact their local nursery school 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.
