Frequently Asked Questions

There is a high demand for Open Evenings and there can often be a wait before you can attend an Open Evening. As we offer on a first come, first served basis, Open Evenings are also managed on this basis to ensure we are fair and equitable to everyone.

Yes, there is a non-refundable registration fee, however, if you currently have a child attending The Mulberry House School, registration fees for any siblings will not apply.

As outlined below, the registration fee differs depending on the type of place you are registering for:

• £125 to register for a nursery place (per child);
• £250 to register for both a nursery place and a school place (per child);
• £150 to register for a school place where your child already holds a place within our nursery (per child); or.
• £300 to register for a school place where your child does not already hold a place within our nursery (per child).

Places are very limited therefore it is not always possible to offer your first choice of place. We will offer whichever type of place we have available for your child. If we are unable to offer a place, we will offer you the opportunity to add your child to our waitlist.

Our policy is not to reveal position on the waitlist. Our admissions policy can be found here

Wherever possible, we will give priority to siblings, however if a class group is already full this may not always be possible.

Due to the way our curriculum is structured, to ensure all children get access to the full curriculum, we only offer five mornings, five afternoons or 5 full days. We cannot offer flexible schedules.

Due to the government mandated Staff to Child ratio, we are unable to offer lunch to morning children.

Full time children will receive morning snack, lunch and afternoon tea. Morning children will receive a morning snack only and afternoon children will receive afternoon tea only.

Due to the way our curriculum is structured, we do not offer part weeks or flexible hours. Because of this, we are not able to take part in this scheme.

We sometimes have occasional places become available, however priority will be given to children already on the waitlist.

Places are allocated from 2+ to 4+ or 7+, therefore, unless another family needs to change place or terminates their place, it may not be possible to move you to a morning or full time place.

We are happy to accept registrations for unborn children if the parents feel comfortable applying. However, we do request an acceptance deposit to secure the place, so please ensure you read our terms and conditions regarding acceptance deposits before accepting an offered place.

We process registration forms once a week. All offers are made on a first come, first served basis dependent on availability in your child’s class.

Places are allocated based on the date of birth of the child, occasionally even a matter of days can make the difference between which class group your child is in and availability of spaces.

If there is another family that wishes to change place it may be possible.

We may have occasional places available in Reception or Year 1. If you wish to enquire about availability, please contact admissions@mulberryhouseschool.com.
