Admissions

All you need to know about applying for a place in our nursery

Kate Greenaway is a London Borough of Islington Nursery.  We work to the Islington Council’s Admissions Policy, our staff are employed by the Council  and our fee charges are set by Islington Council.

We operate a ‘criteria list’ rather than a waiting list. This means we aim to allocate places to families that have requested the days/hours that the available place includes. The amount of time your application has been with us does not effect your likelihood of being offered a place.
