My little girl also born end of September will be starting nursery January 2026 because she will turn 3 at end of September and they start at the beginning of September she has to wait till the new term which is January but nursery is not a legal requirement
@Natalie oh that’s very helpful, thank you! Do we pay for reception is that the first year of free education?
@Jasmine thanks for the reply!
Reception is free
The September after the 4th birthday is reception which is an option most take but not a legal requirement. The legal requirement is to be registered in some form of education by the term after their 5th birthday
