About this day nursery

St. Luke's Nursery, nestled in Cleckheaton, BD19 6AD, offers a welcoming environment for early years education. The nursery prioritises a smooth admissions process, guiding prospective families through applications for both nursery and reception classes.

For nursery admissions, families can complete an online application form, and a dedicated admissions team will follow up regarding available spaces. It's important to note that attending the nursery does not guarantee automatic entry into St. Luke's Primary School's Reception class.

The nursery also hosts open days, providing an opportunity for parents to visit and experience the setting firsthand. While operating as part of a larger primary school, it maintains its own admissions authority for in-year places.

The school also provides detailed admission arrangements for the current and upcoming academic years and has a clear process for school admission appeals.
