Do asap. Indicate when you want to send him in. They will call you when there's a vacancy nearer to the date. My son waited almost a year to get into a newly open centre last time. Because they don't solely based on first-come-first serve. They need to consider the child's age as well. Priority goes to siblings and those already in the centre graduating from the younger class. When you cfm taking the vacancy then you will need to pay the deposit and school fees.
I think she is refering to pcf sparkletots childcare because her son is a toddler. If it's pcf nursary/kindergarten(half day programme), they have a registration period. I saw their banner few months ago and it's for 2013 intake. So it's like their registration exercise is very early.
