Sahan preschool and day nursery is registered for children between the ages of 3 months to 5 year old.

 

Other matters taken into account in deciding which child can be offered a place in the nursery are:

 

• Availability of places, taking into account the staff/child ratios, the age of the child and the registration requirements.

• Children who have siblings and the children who are already with us.

• When the application is received (extra weight is given to those who have been on the waiting list the longest).

• The ability to provide the facilities for the welfare of the child, including appropriate staffing arrangements.

• A child requiring a full-time place may have preference over one requiring a part-time place. This is dependent upon work commitments, occupancy and room availability.

• Extenuating circumstances affecting the child's welfare or the welfare of his/her family.

 

We operate an inclusion and equality policy and ensure that all children have access to Sahan preschool and day nursery places and services irrespective of their gender, race, disability religion or belief or sexual orientation of parents.

 

Prior to a child attending nursery, parents must complete and sign a registration form. The form provides Sahan preschool and day nursery with personal details relating to the child. For example, name, date of birth, address, emergency contact details, parental responsibilities, dietary requirements, collection arrangements, fees and sessions, contact details for parents, doctor’s contact details, health visitor contact details, allergies, parental consent and vaccinations etc.

 

Providers eligible to provide government funded places

 

All settings registered to accept government funding (detailed in the code of practice) must offer free places for three to five year olds for the sessions specified by the local authority. 2 year old can also be supported by funding depending on their elegibility. These places will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis and can be booked a term in advance.

 

We offer flexible hours to cater for the parents needs, two sessions will be running alongside this.. When you register your child for their funded place we will discuss your needs, and as far as possible with availability and staffing arrangements we will accommodate your wishes.
