mlfc   10 #5 Posted January 20, 2015 I don't think there is one. It's not a centralised system like with schools. You just ring/visit and if you like the place and they have capacity then you are in.  What area are you in? You should be able to get some recommendations on the forum Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Mattenmurg   10 #7 Posted January 21, 2015 I just called the one I was interested in an arranged a visit. They gave me an info pack which elaborated on their website and gave me some price ideas based on what I was thinking of.  I don't know if it's more competitive for places once they become eligible for free child care but I had no problems with space availability for a one year old.

Lorri   10 #9 Posted February 12, 2015 If anyone else needs information about childcare, try looking here:  http://www.sheffielddirectory.org.uk/kb5/sheffield/fsd/localoffer.page  When parents enquire about places we ask them to complete an application form, but we often have a waiting list!

Love2print   10 #11 Posted February 14, 2015 Don't if your still looking but I am in S5, I went to look at two nurseries last year. I just contacted them to have a look. One of them I had to wait until the open evening. Both I had to fill in an application forms to go on the waiting list. They both said they would contact me when there was availability to start in a term after he turned 3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
