Nursery

A safe and nurturing environment

Since its opening, our nursery has been a cherished part of our school family, providing a warm start for many of our pupils. However, as part of our long-term commitment to academic excellence, the school has reached a strategic decision to conclude our nursery provision at the end of the Summer 2026 term.

This transition marks the beginning of an ambitious new chapter for our school. By evolving our school site, we are making way for significant investment in state-of-the-art facilities and modern learning environments. these new spaces are designed to inspire our pupils and ensure we continue providing a world-class education for years to come.

Curriculum

Giving your child the best possible start

Children join from the age of 3 with dedicated, caring staff in an inviting classroom. The small class size enables individual and personalised learning. Work is clearly differentiated with each child taught at the appropriate level for their ability. Pupils are introduced to learning through a mixture of adult and child-led activities covering the EYFS expectations with a strong focus on reading.

Children benefit from specialist teachers for French, Music and Sports.

There is plenty of Art and Crafts which develops creative flair. The Nursery children take part in school events such as the annual Nativity Play and Spring Concert. Free play is incorporated to ensure all our children thrive through using their imagination and learning to share.

The learning process in our nursery, which is carefully embedded into every session, ensures that by the time our children move on into Reception they have a true love of learning.

French

Nursery and Reception children receive French lessons once a week with a specialist teacher. The language is introduced through learning to speak French words and phrases via games and songs.

Sports

Sport is taught once a week in the safety of our main playground by specially trained coaches from Ealing Trailfinders. Skills and team games are taught, providing exercise, fun and the opportunity to meet and exceed the goals for Physical Activity in the EYFS expectations.

The sporting highlight of the year is the School Sports Day held in June which everyone takes part in to represent their House.

Music

Pupils in Nursery enjoy a Music lesson taught by our specialist teacher every week. The youngest children learn to engage with music through song, movement and sensory activities.

As their skills develop, they learn about the musical elements, responding to music through movement, playing percussion instruments and singing. There is also a visiting peripatetic teacher to individually teach piano.

Forest School

Our pupils in Nursery have a wonderful opportunity to experience Forest School in our local Lammas Park.

A specially trained teacher takes them for weekly sessions where they are able to explore their environment and learn more about it in focused activities.

EXTRA-CURRICULAR, CLUBS & TRIPS

Outside the classroom

Nursery pupils benefit from attending Forest School in a purpose built section of Lammas park. Trips at the beginning of the academic year are focussed on our local area. Later in the school year, as they gain in confidence and abilities they are able to go further afield to support their learning.

There are 2 extra-curricular clubs a week run by the EYFS staff which pupils can be signed up to. Ballet Lessons with our Ballet Teacher who visits the school each Wednesday are available at an extra cost. Clubs change each term and are run after school until 4.15pm.

After school care is available each day until 6pm.
