Welcome to our Nursery - Opening January 2026
Thank you for your interest in our new nursery - opening on January 6th 2026. We will begin by offering government funded school hour places for 3 and 4 year-olds, with 2-year-old places to follow in the future, enabling us to provide high-quality early education to even more families across Fradley and the wider community.
Below you will find the application form for children who wish to start with us in January. Please click on the application form below for further information and the application form. We warmly invite you to complete and return the form by Wednesday, 25th June 2025. We’re very much looking forward to receiving your applications and welcoming new families to our community.
Please note that this application round is only for children starting in January 2026. If you are seeking a place for a later start date, a separate process will be communicated in due course.
In the event that we receive more applications than we can accommodate, we will refer to our set admissions criteria to fairly allocate places. These criteria will be made available on our website after the application deadline.
All submitted applications will be carefully reviewed, and we will notify families of placement decisions by Friday, 4th July 2025.
Please submit your completed application (found below) to nursery@st-stephens.staffs.sch.uk or drop it into the school office.
