To be eligible for a Nursery place starting in September 2026, your child must have turned three years old between 1st September 2025 and 31st August 2026. This means your child's date of birth must fall between 1st September 2022 and 31st August 2023.  This form will collect your requirements for 15-hour, 30-hour, and wraparound care options. The application form will be open from 1st  November 2025 to 7th March 2026.   Timelines for offers and acceptance are available on our website. Generally, following the schedule of other Hitchin Nurseries, initial offers will be sent out on 26th March 2026. The deadline to accept a place is 22nd April 2026. As each nursery manages its own admissions, a second round of offers may be made after 22nd April if places become available due to declined offers. Please ensure that your email address remains up to date to receive all communications.
