Nursery Admissions – September 2026
Applications for Nursery school places for September 2026 are now open. The closing date for applications is Monday, 16th February 2026. Please note that a Funded Early Education (10-hour) place starting in January or April 2026 is not the same as a Nursery application. Funded places are for the spring and/or summer term only and will end in July. Securing a funded early education place does not guarantee a Nursery place for September. A separate Nursery application must be made if you have not already done so. If you experience any difficulties when making an application, please contact admissions@wrexham.gov.uk or call 01978 298991.
