When can I put my child’s name on the waiting list? 

As soon as you want to. It does help with our planning to know who may want to come in any future term and you are not committed to coming if your name is on the list, it just means you will be offered a place nearer the time. Just complete an application form and return it to the preschool and we will contact you nearer the time for your child to start.

What is the induction process?

Once you have registered your child at The Northern Lights Preschool, we will contact you to arrange settling-in visits, giving you and your child the opportunity to meet the staff and to allow us to discuss your child’s routine.
