Nursery Admissions

Home > Admissions > Nursery Admissions

Nestled in the midst of a busy community, St Joseph’s Catholic Nursery is an oasis of calm and provides fantastic outdoor, woodland space for children to explore. Our wonderfully spacious and colourful learning environment has the most up-to-date facilities to encourage your child’s development, providing a happy and secure stepping-stone from which your child can progress onto ‘big’ school.

Our staff are highly qualified, dedicated and caring, with a wealth of experience in delivering early years education. We provide a free hot lunch for all full-time children.

We offer fun packed activities across the week to develop skills and understanding through play. The children are presented with a wide range of practical experiences intended to motivate, stimulate and challenge and which promote learning through experience and encouragement of independence.

Gaining a place in St Josephs Nursery does not guarantee a place in the main school. Further details regarding admission to the Main School are available from the school office or by visiting the Admissions pages on this site.

Message from our Chair of Governors

We are delighted that you are considering making an application for your child to join our wonderful school or nursery.  St Joseph’s is a very special place where our pupils are supported on their educational journey by a fantastic, committed teaching staff. I am so proud to be the Chair of Governors and I can promise you that your child will be cherished at our school.  We are a Passionist congregation school, with close links to St Joseph’s Church in Highgate. Catholic life is at the heart of our school and our staff work hard to develop and support the faith of each child who attends.

As a Catholic school, you will see that our admissions criteria prioritise children from practising Catholic families. As such, we require evidence of regular attendance at Mass, and being known to your priest. I would recommend that you discuss the certificate of Catholic practice with your parish priest, or the priest of the church you normally attend, at an early stage. Unfortunately without a priest’s reference your child will not fall within categories 2 to 5 of our admissions criteria. St Joseph’s is a popular school and we normally have to apply our oversubscription criteria.

Finally, I wanted to remind prospective parents that as part of our acceptance procedures you will be asked to sign an agreement with the school, agreeing to co-operate with the school in your child’s Catholic education.  I look forward to welcoming you and your child to St Joseph’s.

Yours sincerely

Dr Paul Lasok,
Chair of Governors
