Admissions Process
King’s House is a private, term-time nursery in Richmond with two year groups. Children can join Hedgehogs Class in the term they turn 3 (rising 3s). They then move up to our pre-school classes (Squirrels or Rabbits) in the September following their third birthday (rising 4s). More places for new joiners become available in Squirrels/Rabbits. Registration can be made at any time.
As the first entry point to King’s House, we expect those joining our Nursery to move onto the School. More information is available in our Admissions Policy.

- Accept an Offer
Nursery places are offered approximately two terms before entry. When offered a place, families are asked to complete the Acceptance Contract and pay a deposit of £2,000. This is returned when the child leaves, less any extras. All new joiners then attend several settling in sessions, and will be contacted with further induction information.
All children in the Nursery are automatically offered a place in the Reception Class at King’s House School. From September 2024, girls will be able to join Reception for the first time as we move to full co-education.
