Online applications will open at 12 noon on Friday 10 January 2025 and will close at 12 noon on Friday 24 January 2025.

Before starting your child’s application you should:

• Read carefully the admission criteria for each Pre-school that you wish to nominate as a preference.
• All pre-school settings will require the birth certificate to verify a child’s name and date of birth. Either a full (long) or short birth certificate may be used or an amended birth certificate or an adoption certificate, where appropriate, is acceptable. If you do not have a copy of your child’s birth certificate, please contact the pre-school settings you wish to nominate to see what other documents they may accept.
• You should refer to the admissions criteria to find out if other supporting documents are required by each of the pre-school settings you have chosen e.g. proof of address.
• You can scan or take a photo of the documents you require for each pre-school setting and save them on the device you will be using to make your Pre-school Application. Make sure the photos or scans are clear and legible.
• For GDPR purposes you should remove personal/sensitive/private information from your documents before uploading e.g. financial details in bank statements.
• You will require an email address to be able to register on EA Connect to submit an application.
