This booklet gives information about the application
process for nursery places at schools which have a
maintained nursery setting. A maintained setting is a
class which is part of the school. Some schools have
nurseries on site which are run by other providers or
by the Governors at the school. If the school nursery
you are interested in applying for does not appear
in this booklet, please contact the school directly for
details of how to apply.

Admissions to Maintained Nursery Schools, Nursery Classes and
Foundation Classes
The School Admissions and Transport Service is
responsible for allocating places at maintained
nursery settings within Staffordshire, a list of
these settings is provided on pages 6 to 15.
This booklet provides information on how to make
an application for a place at these nurseries. There
are a number of other settings available for 3 and
4 year olds including private and voluntary day
nurseries, independent schools, playgroups, etc.
which offer free early education places. Some of
these settings may be based on a school site and
may be run by the school governors or by a private
provider. You can find details of providers in your
local area by contacting the Family Information
Service:• By telephone 0300 111 8007
• Email fis@staffordshire.gov.uk
• following links to search for childcare on the
website http://staffs.fsd.org.uk
Who is eligible for a maintained nursery place?
Children born between 1 September 2010 and
31 August 2011 are eligible to attend maintained
nursery or foundation classes for 15 hours a week
for three terms in the academic year in which the
child becomes 4 years old.
What is the difference between a Nursery Class
and Foundation stage class?
A nursery class is made up of children who will be
turning 4 during the school year who attend on
a part time basis. A Foundation stage class also
includes Reception aged children, who will be
turning 5 during the school year who may attend
on a full time basis.
The curriculum is based on the Curriculum
Guidance for the Early Years Foundation Stage,
which promotes learning through play and practical
activities. These activities are planned in such a way
that the diverse needs of all children are addressed
and enable them to access learning opportunities
appropriate to their stage of development.
How do I apply for a maintained nursery place?
If you want your child to start at a maintained
nursery in September 2014, you will have to apply
by 3 March 2014. Application forms are available
from the schools listed in this booklet, or there is
one provided for you on page 18. The application
form allows you to make two preferences. Please
return your form to your preferred nursery setting,
who will then pass it on to the School Admissions
and Transport Service.
You must make an application, even if you have
previously registered your interest with the school.
Places are allocated centrally by the School
Admissions and Transport Service, who must
receive your application before it can be considered.
How will I know that my application has been
received?
Once your application has been received and your
preferences have been recorded onto the School
Admissions and Transport Service’s database, you
will receive an acknowledgement that will confirm
what your preferences were. If you have not
received an acknowledgement by 11 April 2014
please contact us to ensure your application has
been received.
How are places allocated?
Places at the majority of schools listed in this
booklet are allocated using the admission criteria
provided on pages 3 and 4.
Schools with and * next to their name in the
directory are their own admission authority and
use their own admission criteria, this may include
giving some priority to children of the same faith
as the school or to children of staff who work at the
school. Where available, these admission criteria
can be found on the County Council website, www.
staffordshire.gov.uk/admissions by clicking on the
link for ‘Admission Criteria’. Any criteria not available
on the website can be obtained directly from the
school itself.

What happens if I don’t submit my application by
the closing date?
Can I defer the date my child joins a maintained
nursery setting?
Applications received after the closing date will be
considered alongside those applicants who applied
on time wherever possible. Where it is not possible
because places have already been allocated then
late applications will be considered only after those
applicants who applied on time.
Admission into maintained settings within
Staffordshire Primary schools takes place in the
September of each academic year. It is not possible
to ‘hold’ places for children where parents would
like them to start a term later i.e. in the following
January. You would need to approach the nursery
of your choice when your want your child to start to
see if there are any places available at the time?
Please note, if one of your preferred settings is
indicated in the directory as being their own
admission authority, then the school’s governing
body will have to decide whether to consider your
application with those made on time.
When will I find out where my child has been
allocated a place?
Letters with the outcome of all applicants will be
sent, using second class mail, on 12 May 2014.
What if my application is unsuccessful?
If it is not possible to offer a place at either of your
preferred maintained settings your child’s name will
remain on their waiting list, which are held until the
end of the autumn term 2014. The waiting list uses
the same oversubscription criteria order as used to
allocate places and, if places become available, they
will be offered to the child at the top of the waiting
list. Please note, a child’s position on the waiting list
is not fixed and, if your circumstances change or if
there are further applications for places you may
move up or down the waiting list.
You can contact the School Admissions and
Transport Service who will be able to provide you
with details of other maintained nursery settings
that have places available. You can also contact
the Family Information Service for details of other
providers in your area.
Will I still need to apply for a place in Reception?
Yes, you will need to make an application for a
Reception place in September 2015 from November
2014. Being offered a place in a nursery or foundation
class does not guarantee a place in the school’s
Reception Class. No priority is given for attendance
at a maintained nursery when places are allocated,
which will be strict accordance with the admission
arrangements for Primary school. Information about
the primary application process will be available in the
middle of the Autumn term 2014.
What if I have a dispute over the outcome of my
application?
Any disputes over the administration of the
admissions policy will be dealt with under the
Staffordshire County Council Complaints procedure.
These should be addressed to the Monitoring Officer,
Peel Building, St. Chad’s Place, Stafford ST16 2LR.
There is no statutory right of appeal over admission
to nursery or foundation classes.
Who should I contact if I have any queries?
If your query relates to the admissions process,
please contact the School Admissions and Transport
Service on 01785 278593 or email admissions@staffordshire.gov.uk
If you have a more general query about nursery
aged settings please contact the Family Information
Service on 0300 111 8007 or email fis@staffordshire.gov.uk.

Admissions Criteria
If the total number of preferences for admission to a nursery age setting exceeds the number of
available places, then the following order of priority will be used to allocate the available places.
If the total number of preferences for admission
to a nursery age setting exceeds the number
of available places, then the following order of
priority will be used to allocate the available
places.
1)Children in Care and children who ceased
to be in care because they were adopted
(or became subject to a residence order or
special guardianship order).
2)Children who satisfy both of the following
tests:
Test 1: the child is distinguished from the
great majority of other applicants either on
their own individual medical grounds or by
other exceptional circumstances.
Medical grounds must be supported by a
medical report (obtained by the applicant
and provided at the point of application). This
report must clearly justify, for health reasons
only, why it is better for the child’s health
to attend the preferred maintained nursery
rather than any other nursery.
E xceptional circumstances must relate to the
choice of nursery and the individual child,
i.e. the circumstances of the child, not the
specific economic or social circumstances
of the parent/carer, and be supported by a
professional report (obtained by the applicant
and provided at the point of application), e.g.
social worker, justifying why it is better for
the child to attend the preferred maintained
nursery rather than any other nursery.
T
est 2: the child would suffer hardship if
they were unable to attend the preferred
nursery setting.
Hardship means severe suffering of any kind,
not merely difficulty or inconvenience, which
is likely to be experienced as a result of the
child attending a different school. Applicants
must provide detailed information about both
the type and severity of any likely hardship at
the time of application.
3)Children who have an elder brother or sister
in attendance at the school (or, in the case of
an infant school, the affiliated junior school)
and who will still be attending the school
(or affiliated junior school) at the time of the
proposed admission date. (For admission
purposes, a brother or sister is a child who
lives at the same address and either: have
one or both natural parents in common; are
related by a parents marriage; are adopted or
fostered by a common parent or are unrelated
children who live at the same address, whose
parents live as partners.)
4)Children living within the defined catchment
or cluster area of the preferred setting. Cluster
areas for nursery age settings will sometimes,
but not always, correspond to the catchment
area for the main school. (See additional notes
for more details.)
5)Other children arranged in order of priority
according to how near their home addresses
are to the main gate of the nursery setting,
determined by a straight-line measurement
as calculated using the Local Authority’s
Geographical Information System.
Where it is not possible to accommodate all
children applying for places within a particular
category then the Local Authority will allocate
the available places in accordance with
the remaining criteria. If for instance, all the
catchment area or cluster area children cannot
be accommodated at a school, children who
are resident within the catchment or cluster
area will be arranged in order of priority
according to distance i.e. category (5).
4
Additional Notes
Each primary school in Staffordshire has a defined
geographical area that is known as its catchment
area that is used in the admissions process to
allocate places. As not every primary school has
its own nursery or foundation class, catchment
areas are combined for the purposes of allocating
nursery places. These are referred to as cluster
areas and are used in the same way as catchment
areas when allocating nursery places. Copies of
school catchment area maps are available from
the Local Authority or individual schools.
There is no charge or cost related to the
admission of a child to a school.
Applications for maintained nursery settings are
processed centrally by the School Admissions
and Transport Service.
Attendance at a particular nursery setting will not
guarantee admission to any particular Reception
Class or give any advantage to the child’s
application for Reception. Parents must make a
separate application for admission to Reception
at the appropriate time.
In accordance with legislation, children who have
a statutory statement of special educational need
that names a particular nursery setting must be
admitted to that nursery. This will reduce the
amount of places available to other applicants.
Children in Care means children who are in the
care of, or provided with accommodation by a
local authority in accordance with section 22(1) of
the Children Act 1989 at the time of making the
application.
It is the applicant’s responsibility to provide
any supportive information required in
order for the application to be assessed
against the published admissions criteria, the
Local Authority will not seek to obtain this
information of behalf of the applicant.
The Local Authority uses a Geographical
Information System (GIS) to calculate home to
school distances in miles. The measurement
is calculated using Ordnance Survey (OS) data
from an applicant's home address to the main
front gate of the school. The coordinates of an
applicant's home address are determined using
the Local Land and Property Gazetteer (LLPG) and
OS Address Point data.
The home address is considered to be the child’s
along with their parent/carer’s main and genuine
principal place of residence at the time of the
allocation of places i.e. where they are normally
and regularly living. If a child is resident with
friends or relatives (for reasons other than legal
guardianship) the friends or relative’s address will
not be considered for allocation purposes.
Where parents have shared responsibility for a
child, and the child lives with both parents for
part of the school week, parents will be required
to provide documentary evidence to support
the address they wish to be considered for
allocation purposes.
If a place is offered on the basis of an address
that is subsequently found to be different from
a child’s normal and permanent home address
then that place is likely to be withdrawn.
If there are a limited number of spaces available
and we cannot distinguish between applicants
using the criteria listed, such as in the case of
children who live in the same block of flats or are
the result of a multiple birth, then the child or
children who will be offered the available spaces
will be randomly selected. This process will be
independently verified.
Unsuccessful applicants will be placed
on a waiting list in accordance with the
oversubscription criteria stated above and not
based on the date their application was received.
If places become available after the offer date
they will be offered to the child at the top of the
waiting list. Waiting Lists will be kept until the end
of the autumn term of admission.
Inclusion on a school’s waiting list does not mean
that a place will eventually become available at
the preferred school.
A child’s position on a waiting list is not fixed
and is subject to change, i.e. they can go up
or down the list since each added child will
require the list to be ranked again in line with the
oversubscription criteria listed above.
There is no statutory right of appeal for admission
to a maintained nursery setting. Any disputes
over the administration of the policy will be
dealt with by the Staffordshire County Council
complaints procedure.
