Dear Sir/Madam
Re: Seeking a placement for a child who will be slightly over the maximum age limit
My name is [name]. I would like to enrol my daughter, [name of daughter] into your nursery school for the academic year 2012-13.
I am aware that there is a maximum age limit for admission and my daughter will be over that age limit on the relevant date (she will be 2 years, 9 months and 9 days old on June 1st 2012).
However, I believe that my daughter would benefit greatly from a place at your nursery school and I also believe that her age would be an advantage as it will give her greater self-confidence and maturity. She would be an ideal pupil at your school and I believe she is exactly the kind of child that your school is designed to teach - she is confident, outgoing, intelligent and eager to learn.
I would be very grateful if you would consider my application for a place for my daughter despite her age. Should you wish to meet in person to discuss this, please contact me and I will be delighted to attend a meeting.
Many thanks for your consideration.
Yours faithfully
[Your name]
