Nursery
The Nursery is a maintained nursery attached to Homelands Primary School. It caters for children aged 3 and 4 and is staffed by a Nursery Teacher and Nursery Nurse. Children start the term after they are 3 years old. The Nursery has morning and afternoon sessions and places for 52 children, 26 children per session. Places in our Nursery become available in September and January. Please note, we ask for applications to be submitted before the half term in June to start September and October to start January.

In the event of the Nursery being over-subscribed, Torbay Council's admissions criteria will apply:
- Children in designated area with a sibling who will be attending at the time of admission
- Other children living in the designated area, nearest first as the crow flies
- Children outside the designated area with a sibling who will be attending at the time of admission, nearest first as the crow flies
- Children outside the designated area
Exceptional priority will be given to children with an Education and Health Care Plan (EHCP).
