Applications for nursery school places in Cardiff are now open, and parents with children who turn three between 1 September 2024 and 31 August 2025, can now apply for a part-time nursery place to start in September 2025.
English and Welsh medium places are available at one of the 91 nursery classes in 87 schools across the city, including three schools with a dual-stream offer. Families are being encouraged to apply before the deadline of Monday 24 February 2025, to help their chance of being offered a nursery place of their choice.
To apply for a place in a community school nursery please visit Nursery school admissions (cardiff.gov.uk). Families preferring a nursery class place at a faith-based primary school can apply directly to these schools for admission.
Cardiff Council cabinet member Sarah Merry said: "In Cardiff we have more than 5,000 nursery spaces across the city providing either English or Welsh medium provision. All children aged three to four years are entitled to a part-time nursery place from the start of the term after they have turned three".
Children with a nursery class place will be required to complete a separate application form for primary school admissions.
For help and support in applying for a school place, please visit any Cardiff Council Hub or library: Hubs and Libraries (cardiff.gov.uk)
