Admissions

Enrolling at Abi Nursery

We’re delighted you’re considering joining the Abi Nursery family. Below you’ll find everything you need to know about securing your child’s place and how our admissions process works.

Pre-Registration & Deposit

To secure your child’s place when one becomes available, we require a £250 deposit. This deposit is fully refundable when your child leaves Abi Nursery, provided all fees are paid and your account is settled. You can join our nursery waiting list free of charge at any time.

Funding

Funding is calculated on a 38-week year (term time), but Abi Nursery is open 51 weeks of the year. This means your funded hours will be stretched to cover the whole year, making your monthly payments consistent. We have a limited number of funded places available.

Discounts

Only one discount can be applied per child:

  • New Nursery Discount – 10% off your first year’s fees for the first 20 places, offered on a first come, first served basis. This discount does not apply to funded hours.
  • Sibling discount – 10% off fees for the eldest child when siblings attend together.
  • Refer a friend – you and your friend each receive 10% off your first month’s fees when they join Abi Nursery.
Tours

We offer tours most days so you can see our nursery in action. Please contact us to arrange a visit at a time that works for you.

Acceptance Deadlines

Once a space has been offered, you will have 3 working days to complete the required forms and pay your deposit to secure your child’s place.

Waitlists

If a place is not immediately available, you can join our waitlist for free. When a space becomes available, we’ll contact you to see if you’d like to proceed with registration. We encourage families on the waitlist to book a tour in advance, so if a space is offered, you’re ready to accept without delay. Spaces are allocated on a first come, first served basis.

Registrations

To register your child, we require:

  1. Completed registration form
  2. Signed terms and conditions
  3. £250 refundable deposit
Attendance

We offer full-day sessions with a minimum attendance of two days per week, which must include either a Monday or a Friday (or both). Some half-day sessions may also be available – please ask us for details
