Starting Pre-School

Welcome to Crown Street Pre-School

We understand that starting Pre-School or moving setting is a significant moment for any child. We will do everything we can to ensure your child settles in smoothly to Crown Street Pre-School.

We take our responsibility for your child’s personal and academic development seriously. We value strong home-school links and the positive difference they can make to a child’s happiness and success.

Before starting with us, we will be holding an induction event in the Summer term for our parents and carers ahead of your child starting Pre-School in September.

Until then, we hope you find the information provided on our website useful and encourage you to look across our Instagram and Facebook accounts, to begin to get flavour of life at Crown Street Primary School.

– Mrs Thompson, Head of School

Admissions for September 2026 entry into Pre-School

The Laurus Trust is the Admissions Authority for Crown Street Pre-School. The co-ordination and administration of admissions for entry is undertaken directly by Crown Street Primary School.

Children are eligible for our Pre-School the year before they start school, so for admission in September 2026 your child will need to have been born between 1st September 2022 and 31st August 2023.

If you are interested in applying for our Pre-School, we will begin to offer tours for prospective parents/carers from October 2025 onwards. Parents/Carers will then need to complete the Admissions Form, which will be available towards the end of this year and be open until mid-March 2026. Please note, that offers for our starting our Pre-School in September 2026 will be made and shared by the end of April 2026.

Crown Street Primary Pre-School does not have a catchment area. If a tie-break is required to determine which child gets a place, we will refer to the criteria in our Pre-School Admissions Policy – see below. For any other policies, please visit our policies page.

Should you wish to enquire further about our Pre-School, please email [email protected] for more information. Please note, more information about school tours and how to apply will be released on this page nearer the time.
