“COME AND PLAY WEEK!”
During week beginning 29th September all parents of Nursery children were given a time slot when they could come into Nursery and play with the children.
This was a very successful week as most parents were able to come along to Nursery.
We think this is a very worthwhile activity as it gives parents an opportunity to se the Nursery in action and it lets parents see the activities that they could perhaps do at home.
We hope to have further opportunities to hold another similar event.
We took some pictures of this enjoyable week. We hope you like them.

PRE-SCHOOL PROVISION – ENROLMENT OF CHILDREN
Parents are invited to enroll pre-school children in the pre-school class whose catchment area contains their normal place of residence. Any parent wishing to request a place in a pre-school school or class other than that serving her/his normal place of residence is free to do so, and that request will be granted if it is possible to do so in terms of the prioritisation process described below.
If there are more children seeking places in a pre-school than there are places available priority will be accorded as follows:
Category 1 Children in their pre-school year living within the delineated area of the pre-school Category 2 Children in their ante-pre-school year living within the delineated area of the pre-school Category 3 Children living outwith the delineated area of the pre- school setting
Notes:- (i) In the extremely unlikely event that it is necessary to prioritise within Category 1, the sole criterion of age will be used, with priority given to older children. (ii) If it is necessary to prioritise within Category 2, the sole criterion of age will be used with priority given to older children. (iii) If it is necessary to prioritise within Category 3, priority will be conferred firstly on Angus residents; priority will then be given to children in their pre-school year as and thereafter according to place of residence, with priority given to children whose normal place of residence is closest to the nursery.
Each pre-school will hold a register of names of children who have been unsuccessful in obtaining a place, and places will be offered to children on the register throughout the year as and when they become available (places will be offered in terms of the priorities listed above and not simply by the length of time the child’s name has been on the waiting list). Children who are enrolled for a place in one Council pre-school will not normally be eligible to remain on the register of names for any other pre-school.
Normally all applicants for nursery places in their pre-school year will have their applications acknowledged initially, with final confirmation of places being provided to parents on a predetermined date in mid/late May.
A Pre-school Handbook will be issued to all parents when their child is enrolled.
