We are so pleased that you are interested in a place for your child at Matford Brook Academy's Nursery & Preschool. We look forward to meeting you and your family very soon.

You can contact us directly via our email address: [email protected]; pop in to school to pick up an application form; or call to leave a message for our Nursery and Preschool team: 01392 717140.

Application Process

1. Optional: Arrange an initial visit.
2. Complete an Initial Interest Form either online or in person (available from our School Office).
3. Wait for confirmation of available hours and a start date (usually within 2 weeks).
4. Optional but recommended: If you have not already visited, please arrange a visit to the school.
5. If you would like to accept the place, complete the full Application Form and return it to the School Office.
6. We will review your details and funding, request any missing information, respond to any questions you may have, and then confirm a settling session and start date.
7. To secure the place, an administrative fee of £50 is required along with your returned contract (see Terms and Conditions under FAQs, T&Cs & Links)
   • For multiple children from the same household entering in the same academic year, this fee is charged once, regardless of the number of children joining.
   • Please note: without this payment, we cannot guarantee the sessions you want if another family submits their application and fee first.
