Securing a Nursery place
Contact the school office on 01622 758538, e-mail us on office@greenfieldscps.kent.sch.uk or click on the link at the end of the page to complete our Nursery admission application. Once you have filled in the Nursery admission form your child will be put on the nursery waiting list. Once your child is eligible or we have availability, we will contact you regarding the school's offer.
If there are more eligible children than spaces at a given time, the following criteria will be used.
1. Children already on role at Greenfields.
2. Siblings of children currently on roll at Greenfields.
3. Distance from school.
School admission forms and identity checks will be completed before your space is secured. We will ask to see either your child's original Birth certificate or Passport.

Organisation of sessions
Children are funded the term after their 3rd birthday to attend 15 hours at nursery each week. At Greenfields this is split into five three hour sessions. Children attend either the morning (8.30- 11.30) or the afternoon (12.15-3.15). Parents are asked their preference of session time; however no guarantees can be made. There are also 30 hour spaces available at Greenfields, for children who are at least 3 years old with parents who are eligible. Children who stay for 30 hours a week will be in school from 8.30-3.15, with lunch arrangements in place from 11.30-12.15. Children who stay at school during the lunch period are provided with a hot school dinner and supervision by qualified staff. There is a daily charge of £5 for this provision, which includes a hot meal cooked on the school premises.
