We enrol infants in cohorts of similar aged children from aged 6 months to 1 year old. We prioritise enquiries of 5 or 4 days due to the small size of the cohorts.

We have started enrolling infants for the cohort intake, expected to be in September/October 2025. We are looking for 1 infant born between October 2024 and March 2025 for a cohort aged 6 months to 10 or 11 months at the time that they start. We have already filled two space in this cohort. A 4th 1 year old infant will join this cohort in April 2026 when the other 3 are also 1 year old.

We are enrolling infants for the cohort intake in January/March 2026 for a cohort aged 6 months to 10 or 11 months at the time that they start. We have already filled one and a half spaces in this cohort of 3 children.
