LEA nursery school admissions

Local education authority (LEA) maintained nursery schools and classes are attached to LEA infant and primary schools in Surrey. They offer free early education places to children aged between three and five. These are generally available on a part time basis, either in the morning or afternoon, term time only.

How can I apply for a LEA nursery place?

You should apply for a place through the head teacher or governing body of the nursery school or class. They will arrange admissions taking account of LEA guidelines. It is advisable to register your child well before their third birthday.

If you are successful in getting a nursery place for your child it doesn’t guarantee that they will automatically be given a place at the infant or primary school to which the nursery is attached.
