Upcoming Open Morning Dates

For parents looking at Reception entry we also invite you to attend one of Stay and Play sessions. More information can be found on our Stay and Play page. We look forward to welcoming you to one of our open events soon!

Registration for a Nursery or Reception place is strongly recommended from birth and can be completed by submitting the online registration form. A non-refundable fee of £120 (incl VAT) is required to secure a pupil’s registration, however, this does not guarantee that a place will be offered. Parents will receive an email from the Registrar acknowledging payment of the registration fee.

Online Registration Form

If an offer has been made then we ask parents to complete the acceptance form and pay the required deposit of £3,000 within 7 days to secure their child’s place along with proof of identification. Half of one term’s fees (at the new academic year fee cost) will be payable in advance on the first day of the preceding Summer Term. Both the deposit and half of one term’s fee are non-refundable on withdrawal of an accepted place before attendance at the school. The deposit will be returned to parents once the child leaves Year 6, subject to all outstanding fees being settled.

We operate a policy of sibling priority and will then offer according to the date of registration. Further places may be offered to children remaining on our waiting list.

Once a place has been confirmed and accepted, all relevant joining information will be sent.

Children are invited in for a short taster session inside the Nursery with parents present. Parents will also to meet with the Head of Early Years or the Headteacher for an informal chat. This usually takes place at least a term before joining.

Reception places are offered 15-18 months prior to entry to our current Nursery children and siblings and then in order of registration. As we are non-selective we do not formally assess candidates before offering a place in Reception. However, we do invite parents to meet with the Head Early Years or the Headteacher for an informal chat.

We are proud to be an inclusive and co-educational Prep school. Admission may be into any year group providing a child is capable of managing the demands of the school day, can access and benefit from the educational programme and provision that we offer, and where a space is available. Prior to offering a place, we will contact the child’s previous or current school for reports and references.

Children will be invited to come to spend a Taster Morning and/or afternoon with us. This will enable parents and the School to assess whether the child will thrive within the educational environment provided at Kew Green Preparatory School.
