The Ofsted registration certificate statement for each individual nursery is the overriding policy in respect of admissions. At Hopscotch we operate an inclusion policy and all children regardless of nationality, religion, culture, race, gender, physical ability or disability, health or social class are welcome. All Hopscotch places are subject to availability, taking into account staff/child ratios, the age of the child and registration requirements. Other matters which are taken into consideration when offering a place in the nursery are:
- When the application was received and deposit paid to secure the place.
- Our ability to provide the facilities for the welfare of the child carrying out all reasonable adjustments as explained in our SEN and Equalities Act Policies.
Admissions regarding EYFE (Early Years Free Entitlement)
- Priority is given to children taking up full-time places or additional hours
- We offer places to children in receipt of EYFE only with no further charge for which no deposit is required. These places are subject to availability and terms and conditions.
