The other major denominations have part-time honorary Chaplains. The Rocking Horse Nursery provides facilities for pre-school age children of students and staff. Around sixty children currently attend on a sessional basis. The nursery is situated at 51 College Bounds, within the grounds of Crombie-Johnston Hall of Residence, and has a large play area ringed with mature trees. The aim is to provide a 'home from home' with a friendly atmosphere, and there is a varied programme of activities to promote the children's social, aesthetic and intellectual development.
Fees are competitive, comparing favourably with similar provision in the public sector.
Places are allocated strictly according to the waiting list and the age of the child, so you are advised to book early. Every degree has an Admissions Selector, who considers all the applications for that area of study. Selectors are most interested in your academic achievements, but they'll also take note of the spread of subjects you've studied, and will check for competence in any specific subjects required for particular programmes. Selectors look at the whole of your application form, and will take your Personal Statement and your Referee's Report into account when they make their decision, as well as your actual or predicted examination grades. Equal Opportunities Applications for admission to all degree programmes are considered on their academic merit, without regard to the sex, ethnic origin, or religious or political affiliation of the applicant.
