HOW WE WILL ADVISE YOU IF YOU HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL WITH YOUR APPLICATION 

You will receive an email if we can offer you a place. There will be a deadline to return an acceptance or to decline an offer.  If declines are received, further emails offering those places to the next eligible children are sent out.  This process will continue until all places are filled.  Emails to all other applicants informing them that they have been unsuccessful in securing a Nursery place, and offering them the opportunity to be placed on a waiting list, will then be sent out.  When offering places from the waiting list, we will apply the same criteria as above, i.e., exceptional arrangements/special needs; sibling in the school upon entry to Nursery; children of staff; distance from the school.

Please note that if your child is offered a place in our Nursery, and you accept, this does not automatically guarantee you a place at the school.  Likewise, if you are not offered a place in our Nursery, or you are unable to accept a place offered, this does not in any way have a negative impact on your application for the school.

HOW WE WILL ADVISE YOU IF YOU HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL WITH YOUR APPLICATION 

Before our Admissions Officer can offer a Nursery place at Burhill, we need to be informed by Surrey County Council of the children coming into our Reception year.  Once we have this information we will know the Nursery sibling places we can offer.  Surrey County Council’s notification does not take place until the middle of April each year, therefore we cannot send out our Nursery offer letters until early May each year, at the earliest. 

You will receive an email if we can offer you a place. There will be a deadline to return an acceptance or to decline an offer.  If declines are received, further emails offering those places to the next eligible children are sent out.  This process will continue until all places are filled.  Emails to all other applicants informing them that they have been unsuccessful in securing a Nursery place, and offering them the opportunity to be placed on a waiting list, will then be sent out.  Those emails should be sent out by the end of the summer term.  When offering places from the waiting list, we will apply the same criteria as above, i.e., exceptional arrangements/special needs; sibling in the school upon entry to Nursery; children of staff; distance from the school.
