Families who wish for their child to come to this school should contact the nursery either by telephone (01332 769821), email (admin@harrington.derby.sch.uk) or by visiting, and complete a registration form allowing their details to be placed on the waiting list.
All children are eligible for a fully funded 15 hour place at the start of the school term after their third birthday but there are now several different entitlements available for parents in England, which have different eligibility criteria. Details of these can be found at https://www.childcarechoices.gov.uk/ You can find out which of these are relevant to you by completing the details on their website. If you require support with this, please speak to our school office who will be happy to help.
Harrington Nursery school currently offer places for:
-Working families extended entitlement (30 hour funding for 2,3 and 4 year olds)
-Flying start entitlement (15 hours for 2 year olds with parents receiving specific government support)
-Universal entitlement (15 hours for 3 and 4 year olds)
Nursery Schools can have long waiting lists so there may be a possibility that your child is unable to start the term directly after their birthday but their details will be kept on file and when a place becomes available, you will be contacted. Where applications exceed the places available, the Governors will use the criteria specified in the Admission Arrangements policy to allocate places to children.

Tax Free Childcare
You can get up to £500 every 3 months (up to £2,000 a year) for each of your children to help with the costs of childcare. This goes up to £1,000 every 3 months if a child is disabled (up to £4,000 a year).If you get Tax-Free Childcare, you’ll set up an online childcare account for your child. For every £8 you pay into this account, the government will pay in £2 to use to pay your provider.
You can get Tax-Free Childcare at the same time as 15 or 30 hours free childcare if you’re eligible for both.
