No I didn’t get the email but lots of my friends did! Someone is getting sacked!! 😂 surely they’ll have to release all outcomes now?
A lot of people in my nursery also said they hadn't received an email yet either , but someone's head will be rolling today 😂😂
Yes email said 9th of April
I haven’t got mine x
A girl i know heard but I haven’t i am raging as i want to know
I did get the email yesterday to say it would be 9th April
I got an email yesterday but it was just to say the places would be released next Wednesday 9th April
We haven’t got a email yet
I haven't got mine but know loads who have. I'd love to get it, I've fomo 😂
I got mine and I'm not happy. We didn't get a place at any of the schools applied to. I don't understand what it means or know what to do next
@Colleen for nursery or p1 was yours for?
@Emma preschool. I applied to 6 and didn't get offered a place on one. I dont understand what's going on with it and what I am actually meant to do now. Hubby and I both work full-time and are on no benefits, all of the schools were oversubscribed, so because we work it looks like my child misses out
@Colleen we applied for 5 different schools. We haven’t heard yet. But we’re not hopeful either as our schools are oversubscribed too and we both work.. I think it goes into cleaning and they’ll give you a list of what’s left and you reapply and find out in June.. not too sure though
@Emma honestly I don't understand any of the process and it feels like we are penalised because we actually work. Really unfair. Can anyone answer me if this always going to be the reply today anyway just because we're not on benefits?

@Colleen the criteria is shocking. My partner and I were so confused as to why our son is way down the list because we both work.. I’m just annoyed some people have heard and others haven’t.
@Emma exactly... if anyone needs the childcare provision it's those who are away working and not able to sit at home to look after their child all day
There’s been a statement from EA to ring if you didn’t get an email
I never seen to call them
@Emma tried ringing & line is constantly engaged! 🤦♀️
@Rachel yup I’m the same..
@Lesley yes at the bottom of the statement it says if you haven’t received an email please call admissions
I know just saw calling them now
Belfast live have story confirming it went out today in error but decisions are correct. Initially it was to be next Wednesday and can take up to 1pm for emails to be received 24k emails to go out. You can’t confirm places until Monday 7th from 12 noon on. I got my email and thankfully got in
I got through on phone and they were able to tell me mine over the phone x
@Mich lucky you I can’t get through on phone
@Mich same here…we got our first choice! @Lesley keep trying & request a call back, good luck 🤞
I got through there and they told me!
Still listening to the music on hold.. hopefully won't be long 🤞🏼
Got the email this evening - didn't get offered a place even though the one pre school is basically in our back garden! I guess cos we aren't on benefits...not happy! My little girl was born in August and will be the oldest in her year as it is, she really would have benefited from this :(

@Paige we were only offered part time place in preschool 5min walk away. 2.5 hours and not even sure if it’s worth taking it as with pick ups it will cost more than regular day in nursery. I don’t even see the point of working anymore.
Hey all don't know if it's worth saying those who are in the north Belfast area , Stanhope nursery is brilliant my daughter went there this year and got a place for next year - me and my partner both work the hours are 8:30-1pm - if anyone is interested I would give them a call as sometimes they had additional spaces xx
@Colleen you'll have to wait until next week now, when everyone has accepted and rejected their spots. They'll then put out a document, I believe that'll be Tues or Wed and it'll list all the nurseries in your area that still have spaces and t have until the end of April (I think) to apply for those spots
@Colleen that's a nightmare!! Very unfair system. Fingers crossed spots become available close to home for you.
I got that email yesterday also but then this morning I got the email to say my daughter was offered her first choice place xx
