How do I apply for a place?

You need to register your children via kidschoice.magicbooking.co.uk. Once registered you can then book a place if there is availability.

What if I want to cancel a day/booking?

The easiest and best solution is to cancel the day on your parent portal which will automatically update our register. 

If for any reason this is not possible please let us know by either phone or email. Alternatively pass on the message if you are collecting them from school. 

If we are not notified we will have to phone you to confirm the reason for the absence. 

Can someone else pick my child up?

Yes, provided you have included them on your registration form. If we have not seen them before they will need the password on your account. 

If someone arrives and does not know the password we will confirm their identity on the with a form of ID that matches the registration form.

If they are not on the registration form we will have to call an authorised and known collector to confirm the collection.

If your child will be starting reception in the new academic year then they will be in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). To ensure your child is well prepared and their development continues at a good pace we have some procedures in place.

We will ask you to fill out an ‘All about me’ form for your child so we get to know them before they first attend. We will then observe their development over time taking into account the seven different areas of learning and development. In addition to this they will be assigned a key worker of whom will ensure they settle in well and answer any questions you may have regarding their individual needs.

You can download the ‘All about me’ sheet by clicking on this link. 

• Communication and language development
• Physical development
• Personal, social, and emotional development
• Literacy development
• Mathematics
• Understanding the world
• Expressive arts and design

Based off this we may make notes and discuss these with their class teacher and you as parents or carers to ensure we are supporting them effectively and consistently.
