Nursery Admission

Children are eligible for a nursery place in the school term after their third birthday.

Dundonald Primary School has two nursery classes, morning and afternoon, with 26 children in each class. We offer nursery intakes in September, January and April. Please note that the majority of places are allocated in September and January.

Applications for all nursery places should be made online to the London Borough of Merton. 

Please note that attendance in the nursery does not give priority for a place in the reception class, a separate application must be made for entry into Reception Class (see below).
