Programme & Age Finder

Start with age. Decide with the whole child.

Choose your child’s current age for a likely NAS programme starting point. Age bands are approximate: readiness, the school-year cut-off and current availability still need a conversation with the office.

Your child’s age today

01

Age is a starting point

Children of the same age can differ in language, separation comfort, independence, attention and social confidence. The admission conversation looks at fit without turning childhood into a test.

  • Use the result as guidance, not a guarantee.
  • Ask how the relevant programme supports the next developmental step.
  • Confirm the applicable school-year cut-off with the office.

02

The five-stage NAS path

Each stage grows from the one before it while keeping learning active, social and age-fit.

  • Mother-Toddler: together, sense and trust.
  • Playgroup: settle, sense and trust.
  • Nursery: talk, pretend and belong.
  • Junior KG: make, sort and wonder.
  • Senior KG: listen, count and try.
