How to apply
Fill in the free online application form. Do this after your child is born and they have a name. We add them to the waiting list of the school you have selected.
Doing this gets it done, but it doesn't move you up the list. We decide who gets a place in the same way that primary and secondary schools do. Find out Who gets a place and what happens next.
When we offer places:
Most children leave our schools in July, in order to go to primary school. So most of our places become vacant in September. We start our admissions process for September just before the Easter holiday.
School visits
Come to our stay and play sessions, called Visiting Day. You get to know all about our schools.
If you can't come to a Visiting Day, call or email us. Find our phone numbers on our Contact us page. We will arrange to give you a short visit round the building. We will do our best to answer your questions. The visit might be quick if we are teaching at the time....
We offer adults and young people:
- placements for students training for a few Early Years qualifications. These include School Direct and PGCE teacher training, BTEC, NVQ and CACHE
- work experience for school students from Waltham Forest secondary schools and sixth form colleges
- volunteer placements for parents and members of the local community
The Students and work experience page explains how to apply for work experience.
The Volunteers page explains how to become a volunteer.

Safe recruiting
Everyone who works in our schools goes through an induction process. This includes safeguarding, health and safety, behaviour management and school operations. All staff, students, governors and regular volunteers are DBS checked. Read what that means on the DBS pages of the government website.
