Nursery at St Augustine's Catholic Primary School
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 If you spot anything outdated or inaccurate, please let us know.
A piece of fruit, a mid-session drink and a choice between morning, afternoon and all-day attendance give St Augustine's nursery a practical starting point. This is the nursery class within the Catholic primary school on Cranbrook Road in Gants Hill, Ilford. Nursery admission begins at three, rather than covering the younger toddler years.
The Catholic identity belongs to the whole school: faith shapes its stated ethos and its emphasis on respect for others. For families choosing this nursery, that religious setting is part of the decision alongside the attendance pattern.
Snack time happens during play, with fresh fruit or vegetables rather than other break-time snacks. Early years children are offered milk or water mid-session. Families can plan around that daily snack routine.
Fruit or vegetables are provided daily for early years children through the Fruit and Vegetable Scheme. The mid-session snack also includes a choice of water or milk. That gives the session a food-and-drink routine alongside learning.
Support for additional needs sits within the school's SEND arrangements. Individual programmes guide support, progress is reviewed regularly, and adjustments are intended to help children and families participate in school life. The SENCo provides a contact for discussing a child's needs. Redbridge Information, Advice and Support Service (RIASS) is also signposted for impartial SEND advice.
Communication about learning includes a termly curriculum newsletter delivered through ParentMail, with a website version too. This gives parents a way to follow topics at home.
Nursery attendance does not guarantee a Reception place. Families must make a separate Reception application through the normal admissions process and meet the applicable deadline. For the September 2026 intake, the route was online through Redbridge's eAdmissions service. Treat nursery attendance and the Reception application as separate decisions.
Morning attendance runs from 8:50am to 11:50am; the afternoon session is 12:20pm to 3:20pm. All-day attendance spans 8:50am to 3:20pm. These different finish times matter when arranging collection.
Enquiries go through the Infant Office at admin.st-augustines@redbridge.gov.uk or 020 8554 1919. Travel planning also needs attention: the School Street restrictions cover Veronique Gardens and Loudoun Avenue on term-time weekdays, from 08:00 to 09:15 and 14:30 to 15:45. Driving through the zone requires a valid permit to avoid a penalty notice.
Nursery admission starts at three.
Morning sessions run from 8:50am to 11:50am, afternoon sessions from 12:20pm to 3:20pm, and all-day attendance from 8:50am to 3:20pm.
Early years children receive fruit or vegetables daily and are offered milk or water during their mid-session snack.
No. A separate Reception application is required. The September 2026 intake used Redbridge's online eAdmissions route.
A termly curriculum newsletter is sent through ParentMail and can also be read on the school website.
