Nursery Admissions


If your child was born between 1 September 2022 to 31 August 2023, they are eligible to apply for a nursery place in school starting in September 2026.

If you would like to apply for a Nursery place at Millfields for this Academic Year, please complete the nursery admissions form and send the following information to admissions@millfields.hackney.sch.uk:

  • a copy of the child's passport and birth certificate
  • proof of address
  • red book (the first page with NHS number and immunisation pages- we can make a copy for you during office hours 8:30am-4pm)
  • supporting documents if they have special educational needs
  • supporting documents if they have a medical condition/allergies

Full time hours are Monday-Thursday 8:40am-3:20pm and Fridays until 2:15pm. Lunch costs £3.00 per day unless you are on low income and meet the criteria for free school meals (click the link for information/how to apply https://education.hackney.gov.uk/content/apply-free-school-meals)

You may also be eligible for 30 hours free childcare: Click the link to apply (6 weeks before your child turns 3 years old) to obtain your 11 digit eligibility code:https://www.gov.uk/apply-30-hours-free-childcare.

Part time hours are 8:40am-12pm (lunch not included), we still ask parents on low income to apply for Early years pupil premium/free school meals even if they do not have lunch at school as the school receives extra funding for resources for your child.

When making your application for part time places, please note we cannot offer 4 day attendance. You can choose to attend for 4 days but a full week will be charged. Also, 2 and 3 day attendance must be consecutive, (e.g. Mon/Tues, Mon/Tues/Weds, Tues/Weds, Tues/Weds/Thurs, Thurs/Fri etc.) so that we can maximase capacity and give every child the opportunity to attend.

We use the Hackney admission criteria as a guide, giving priority to pupils with siblings, with special educational needs, looked after children and pupils who live close to the school.

Breakfast club is from 7:30am (£4.00 per day)
