Nursery application Northern Ireland

[Morgan98]

Hi all, need some advice. My daughter is ready for nursery and I am going to apply for schools in our area in the next few days for September 2026 intake. However we hope to move house around July/august time about 45 minutes from where we are now. What do I do about her application? Do I put school Down in this area Incase we don’t secure a house? But if we do how do we change nursery preferences as I think the outcome letters come out in May. Thanks x

Unfortunately I think you need to use your current address - I remember being asked for bills or bank statements to prove where we lived when my kids were they age. Do you know if the nusery school you would hope to go to when you move is oversubscribed?

You can see the admission criteria and the number of last years applications vs places on the schools page on https://www.eani.org.uk/find-a-school
