Admissions Policy
Rydal Penrhos Ltd welcomes all families and children regardless of gender, cultural and religious background. Children do not have to meet any specific requirements to attend the setting.
However, as we do not admit children younger than 2 years due to our facilities not being suitable for babies, wherever possible a child entering Pre-School is at the stage of (or nearing) being ‘dry’.
Families and children with special needs are welcomed and the School and setting will accommodate where necessary and will work with the necessary agencies. Under exceptional circumstances, the setting may not be able to offer a place if we are unable to meet the child’s needs and requirements.
The decision will only be made after all avenues have been exhausted and the setting will provide a reason for the decision of non-admission. The first stage of our admissions process is to provide you with a tour of the School and setting, and then invite your child to join the Pre- School for a taster session.
Registration:
In order to register and accept a place for a child’s entry into the Pre- School, a Registration Form must be completed and an Acceptance Form returned once an offer letter has been received.
A registration fee and deposit will be required to secure the child’s place.
Before a child joins the department, a Health Questionnaire Form, which includes all information about the child such as medical history, vaccinations, special dietary requirements, next of kin etc. must be received by the School.
Absences
Fees are still charged when a child is absent as overheads have to be paid and the child’s place, secured. No fees are charged when the Pre- School is closed.
Fee Increase
The fees will be subject to annual review; in the event of fees increasing parents will be given at least 28 days written notice of change.
Cancellation of Contract
Should a parent wish to remove their child from the Pre- School, one school term’s notice in writing is required.
Policies and Procedures
Rydal Penrhos Pre- School Policies and Procedures are kept in a folder located in the School office and the department entrance, for parents/guardians to read through at their convenience.
The person in charge will email any policy or procedures on request. The Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy can also be found on the Rydal Penrhos School website.
