The staff are employed by the Council, and all fee structures are determined by the Islington Council. The day nursery maintains a ‘criteria list’ for admissions rather than a traditional waiting list, prioritising families whose requested days and hours align with available placements. The duration an application has been with the day nursery does not influence the likelihood of securing a place. The nursery welcomes children from 6 months to 5 years, with current limited availability in their Explorers (6 months - 2 years) and Navigators (2-3 years) rooms for a January 2026 start. Parents are encouraged to contact the nursery promptly to secure a space. The nursery offers weekly tours on Wednesday mornings from 10:30 am to 11:30 am and on Wednesday evenings at 4:30 pm, though these are not conducted during half-term or holiday periods. Interested families can email or call to reserve a tour slot. The school also features a dedicated Parent Teacher Association, the Kate Greenaway Community Association (KGCA), which actively organises fundraising events to enhance children's experiences, supporting activities like theatre trips, music lessons, and other special events. Kate Greenaway Nursery School is committed to providing a nurturing environment where the magic of learning begins for all children.
