Day Nursery Admissions

If you’re a parent looking for a place in our Day Nursery, please contact admissions@greenbankschool.co.uk or complete our Admissions Enquiry Form to register your interest and check for availability. Once registered, you will be invited to tour the Nursery. Following this, we can arrange as many settling-in sessions as needed to ensure your child feels comfortable, happy and secure.

Preschool and School Admissions

For those interested in enrolling their child in our Preschool or School, please complete the Admissions Enquiry Form. The Admissions Officer is also happy to arrange a visit or answer any questions you may have.

  • Children who turn three by 1st September are eligible to join our Preschool.
  • Occasionally, places become available in other year groups, so it’s always worth checking with us.

While we don’t have a formal entrance examination, children are invited to spend a taster day with us. This helps us assess whether our educational approach aligns with your child’s needs.
