Nursery Admissions
Many of our children join Christ the Saviour in the Nursery, aged 3. A place in the Nursery does not guarantee a place in the main school.
The school admission criteria applies to children wishing to gain a place in Nursery as well as the main school. At Christ the Saviour we manage our own Nursery admissions and applications come directly to the school (via the Grove Site Office).
Parents are invited to complete a Nursery application and a Supplementary Information Form which will help our admissions team rank your child’s application according to our Admissions Criteria.
In- Year Nursery Applications for 2025/2026
Applications for Nursery for the current academic year (2025/2026) will be accepted throughout the year. For the last few years we have been able to take a January intake of pupils who have turned 3 in the Autumn Term. Please contact the admin team for information about our Nursery waiting list.
Applications for Nursery 2026/2027
Applications for Nursery 2026/2027 will be accepted at the Grove Site Office after 4th September 2025.
