Our Nursery
Our nursery offers a calm and caring start to school life, with a strong emphasis on emotional security, independence and communication.
Full Time Hours Available at No Extra Cost
The nursery runs during school hours (9am - 3:15pm) and we currently offer full time places for all nursery children at no extra cost to parents.
- Wraparound Care (Breakfast Club and After School Childcare)
Wraparound care, run by our own school staff, is available 8am-6pm for nursery children once they are settled in school which can be particularly helpful for working parents. Contact the school office on 0207 247 6327 for more information.
Admissions and Eligibility
We welcome children as soon as they turn three years old, and there is no need to wait for a specific intake in September or January. Full-time nursery places are currently available at no additional cost. We are also able to accept a small number of funded two-year-olds, depending on staffing ratios and eligibility - please contact us directly for more information.
Environment
The nursery is based in a dedicated Early Years area, with spacious indoor classrooms and generous outdoor play areas, allowing children to be active, curious and imaginative throughout the day.
Reading and Language
From an early age, children are encouraged to develop a love of stories and language. They regularly visit our whole-school library, enjoy daily story time and take part in activities that promote early phonics, vocabulary and communication skills.
Ethos and Values
As a Catholic school welcoming families of all faiths and none, our ethos underpins everything we do. Through daily interactions, play and teaching, we support children to develop empathy, cooperation, kindness and a strong sense of right and wrong.

Our nursery is part of the school’s Foundation Stage, which includes both nursery and reception children. This integrated setting enables children aged 3 to 5 (with a limited number of 2 year old places) to learn and play alongside one another in a well-resourced, nurturing environment.
We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, which focuses on ensuring that every child makes good progress and no child is left behind. Staff work closely with families to support each child’s development and wellbeing, recognising that every child is unique, with their own interests, personality and learning style.
Children learn through a balance of play, exploration and structured adult-led activities. Learning is planned responsively, based on regular observations and assessments, and the curriculum is adapted to reflect the children’s developmental needs.
We value strong relationships with parents and carers and see this partnership as central to a child’s success. Parents are kept informed of their child’s learning and development through regular conversations, observations and opportunities to engage with their child’s progress.
Whether you are already part of the school community or looking to join us, we encourage you to speak to our team if you have questions about your child’s transition into nursery or day-to-day nursery life.
