Nursery Admissions:
Admissions for nursery or pre-school places in Hertfordshire are managed by individual settings. Therefore, Fairfields Primary School & Nursery, is its own admissions authority for nursery and pre-school places. Please note, a place in our nursery or pre-school does not guarantee a place in Reception, however, we do follow the same admission criteria as Hertfordshire County Council.
PRE-SCHOOL APPLICATIONS
Applications for pre-school are also open, offering morning places for children who will be aged 2 or 3 by 1st September 2024.
Please do not hesitate to call the school office if you have any admission queries.
