Nursery place allocation (FOI)

Request

A

Please can you provide data on the predicted number of children requiring Pre School education in the town catchment area for the next 4 years and how these figures are calculated.

B

How many places are available in the town catchment area (states nurseries only) and how these will be allocated.

Response

A

The Education Department allocates spaces for pre-school education on an islandwide basis and is unable to provide data on the predicted number of children requiring pre-school education in the town catchment area.

Catchment area is not part of the allocation criteria. The majority of places are allocated based on date of application and a parent can apply to any nursery. Therefore, the Education Department is unable to provide data on the predicted number of children requiring pre-school education in the town catchment area.

B

The number of places available at each of the States Nurseries are outlined below:
