Admission to Nursery

Please view the Nursery admissions booklet (Free Early Education and Childcare for 2, 3, and 4 year olds) on Stockport Local Authority website (https://www.stockport.gov.uk/topic/schools-and-education). This booklet outlines the settings available in the Cheadle / Gatley area, the arrangements for applying for a nursery place and the priority criteria for admissions is outlined. Our published admissions number for Nursery is 40 (part-time).

You will need to apply separately for a primary school place, even if your child attends our Nursery. Admission to a nursery class does not give any priority for a place in our reception classes at Gatley Primary School.
