Allocation procedure for nursery places

The University's nursery provision is oversubscribed, and there is a long waiting list. However, due to the change in the waiting list procedures from 1 March 2004 and the opening of the new nursery at Jack Straws Lane there is a greater chance of being offered places than in previous years. Parents who fall into priority groups will be allocated places first. Thereafter, all other applicants are offered places (when available) according to the date when they applied. The priority groups are parents or children with a disability, those who have been nominated under the sponsored places scheme, lone parents, and those with a sibling already in a university nursery or a nursery where we have subsidised places.
