Admissions Statement

Misson Pre School has been a successful part of our village for over 30 years. We care for children between the ages of two and four, before they transition seamlessly into our primary school.

Our Pre School is registered with Ofsted under the Misson Primary School umbrella, reference number 122656

We aim to make our setting accessible to all children and families within Misson and the surrounding area. We strive to be an inclusive environment wherever possible, catering for every child’s needs. Our setting and daily practises operate in a way that encourages positive regard for and understanding of all differences and abilities. We do reserve the right to reject or withdraw a place within our Pre School if we do not feel we can meet a child’s needs.

We have a flexible admission policy, taking children as a space becomes available. The numbers of children we admit into our Pre School comply with the legal square footage requirements set out by the Early Years framework and we are always mindful of the staff : pupil ratios. The maximum number of children we can accept into each session is currently 16.

Our opening hours and pricing are as follows:

We want to work closely with all our families and therefore support flexible attendance patterns across the week. These should reflect the needs of each individual child and their support network.  

Parents are required to complete an admissions form and mutual contract before we can accept any child into the Pre School. This is attached at the back of this statement as well as being on the website. Attending our Pre School however, does not guarantee your child a place into our primary school.

Once a child has been accepted into our setting, our highly trained staff will allocate them a key worker.  To make the children’s transition into our setting as seamless as possible, we initially offer two taster sessions. The first session will be with a parent or guardian present and on the second one we ask that you leave your child, if appropriate. Additional days can be organised if you and our experienced staff feel this is necessary.

Government funding can be used for your child’s Pre School sessions within the funded hours criteria and paid for hours are also available, charged at the rates above. To find out your eligibility please visit the Childcare Choices website.

If you require any help with this, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us.

We do require a minimum of four week’s notice should you decide you no longer require a place at Misson Pre School. This is in line with the Government funding scheme. If you chose to take your child out of school for a holiday, this will be authorised as they will not be statutory school age, however you will still be charged.

Any trips that our Preschool take part in will carry an additional cost. These are not included in the hourly / daily rate.
