Nursery Admissions

Long Melford CE Nursery does not have a specific catchment area and we welcome children from all surrounding areas.  

We are always pleased to meet new parents and children and recommend arranging a tour of the school and nursery prior to making an application.  Please telephone the school office (01787 379929) in order to arrange a tour of the school with the Headteacher.  This will give you the chance to experience the school’s atmosphere and ethos and to see the school in action!

Our Nursery is open every school day between 8:45am and 3.15pm.  Children are eligible to join the nursery in the term after they turn three and can attend any number of sessions.  The Nursery works with the Local Authority with regards both 15 hour and 30 hour funding.  If you would like information about Nursery funding, please speak to Mrs King, our Bursar (bursar@longmelfordprimaryschool.co.uk).  

If parents wish to make an application for the Nursery, forms can be obtained from the link below.  The forms should be returned to bursar@longmelfordprimaryschool.co.uk
