Nursery at Guru Nanak Sikh 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 If you spot anything outdated or inaccurate, please let us know.
Sikh values give the planned nursery at Guru Nanak Sikh Academy its context: service, equality and respect are part of the academy’s SHARE values. The nursery opening was rescheduled to January 2026. That is a planned opening date, rather than confirmation that children have started attending.
The academy is an all-through Sikh faith school on Springfield Road in Hayes. It welcomes families of different beliefs and backgrounds. For parents considering its nursery, the faith character is therefore an important part of the choice, alongside the practical arrangements for their child.
The academy describes its curriculum as Aims based Curriculum, organised around Aspire, Acquire and Achieve. Its stated ambition extends from the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) onwards: children build knowledge and skills, then use their learning to help others. This gives the educational aims a social purpose as well as a learning focus.
Literacy, numeracy and social skills are the academy’s stated priorities for its early years and primary phase. For families, these are the broad areas of development to weigh alongside the school’s emphasis on respect and service.
Ofsted judged the academy’s early years provision Good at the inspection of 24 and 25 May 2023, before the nursery’s rescheduled opening date. In May 2023, some teaching in early years did not check children’s understanding and recall consistently enough, and the quality of their work sometimes fell short of what it could be. That concern belongs to the early years provision inspected then; the judgement should not be treated as a nursery rating.
SEND enquiries can go to the academy’s SENCO through the school office or send@gnsa.co.uk. The academy has a team supporting SEND across its phases, including learning support assistants in primary. This gives families a contact route for discussing their child’s needs.
Academy lunches are vegetarian and prepared on site, with menus rotating over four weeks. The school participates in the National Schools Fruit and Vegetable Scheme, encouraging Foundation Stage children to eat fruit or vegetables daily. These are school-level arrangements, rather than a confirmed nursery meal package.
Nursery attendance does not guarantee a Reception place. Families must apply separately through the normal admissions process, meeting the deadline for their child’s intake.
For the 2025 intake, applications went to the child’s home local authority using a Common Application Form, with the academy named as a preference. The deadline was Wednesday, 15 January 2025. Nursery attendance was not a priority category for that intake. Those arrangements concern a past admissions cycle and should not be treated as the dates or criteria for a future application.
The admissions team accepts enquiries and can arrange a personalised academy tour by telephone on 0208 573 6085. The school office can also be contacted at admin@gnsa.co.uk. Use the admissions team as the starting point for a nursery enquiry.
January 2026 was the rescheduled opening date. A planned date should not be taken as confirmation that the nursery has opened.
The Good judgement from 24 and 25 May 2023 covers the academy’s early years provision inspected then. It predates the nursery’s planned opening and is not a separate nursery rating.
Contact the academy’s SENCO through the school office or email send@gnsa.co.uk to discuss your child’s needs.
