Nursery at Belmore Primary Academy
Last reviewed: October 2026 · Inspection data and key information above update regularly, however, this review below is refreshed bi-annually and may not reflect recent changes. Contact the nursery directly to confirm current arrangements. If you spot anything outdated or inaccurate, please let us know.
Language gives Belmore’s early years provision its clearest character: adults demonstrate how to use words correctly, helping children develop their communication. For parents, that puts the everyday exchanges between children and staff alongside the learning itself.
The nursery belongs to Belmore Primary Academy in Hayes. At the Ofsted inspection on 14 and 15 November 2023, early years provision was graded Good. That judgement covers the school’s early years provision, rather than a separately inspected nursery.
Communication is a concrete strength in the early years. In November 2023, adults skilfully developed children’s language through their own speech, giving children examples to learn from during their interactions. The school describes vocabulary as a priority across its curriculum, so this early attention to communication fits its wider approach to learning.
Reading deserves a practical question from parents. In November 2023, some children had too narrow a choice of books for reading in school or taking home. The school needed to improve access and make its checks on reading habits more systematic. For families, the useful issue is how children encounter different books and continue enjoying them at home.
Early identification of additional needs matters here. In November 2023, early years staff recognised SEND quickly and selected learning resources that helped children access the curriculum alongside their peers. That gives parents a concrete starting point for discussing how support will work for their child.
Across the school, the SENDCo and class teachers use Assess-Plan-Do-Review to reconsider support each term. With parental consent, children receiving SEN support have a one-page profile and a provision map recording their additional help. Parents contribute to profiles, and provision is shared with them termly. These school-wide arrangements give families a way to discuss needs, agree support and revisit progress.
Consistency of SEND support. In November 2023, school-wide practice varied, and some pupils moved to harder material before understanding earlier learning securely. Staff training needed fuller implementation. Families should discuss how staff check understanding before introducing the next step.
Attending Belmore’s nursery does not guarantee a Reception place. Families must make a separate Reception application through the normal admissions route and meet the deadline for their child’s entry year. Treat that application as a separate task, even while your child is attending nursery.
Nursery applications go directly to the school through an online form. The office can also provide a paper application; contact enquiries@belmore.school or telephone 01895 462 364.
Travel and parking. Owen Road has very limited parking, and the school discourages driving along it because of children’s safety. The school car park requires a permit. Plan the journey on foot where possible, and contact the school about specific mobility needs.
No. Reception requires a separate application through the normal admissions route, by the deadline for the relevant entry year.
