Step Two: Register for a place

If you would like to take the next step, simply complete our online registration form and submit it with a £60 Registration Fee. This lets us know that you are interested in a place for your child but does not commit you to joining. Here you can also indicate the Sessions which you are looking to take up for your child, so that we can check availability.

Once Registered, you will receive updates about the admissions process, including booking in a home visit and taster sessions. Our friendly Admissions team is always on hand to answer any questions and guide you through the next steps.

This is a wonderful opportunity for your child to meet our team in a familiar and comfortable environment, helping to build their confidence before starting Nursery.

During the visit, we will chat with you about your child’s interests, routines and any specific needs to ensure a smooth and happy transition. It is also a chance for you to ask any questions and get to know us better. Our goal is to make the process as reassuring and seamless as possible for both you and your child.

Step Four: Taster day

To help your child settle in and feel at home, we invite them to join us for a taster session at RGS Springfield Nursery. This is a lovely opportunity for them to explore our warm and welcoming environment, meet our caring staff and start making new friends.

During their visit, your child will take part in fun, play-based activities, giving them a feel for Nursery life. Our team will ensure they feel comfortable and supported throughout the session, helping to make the transition to Nursery as smooth and enjoyable as possible.
