Nursery at Worple 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 If you spot anything outdated or inaccurate, please let us know.
Shared classrooms and an outdoor learning area give Worple’s nursery a close connection with the next stage of school life. Nursery children can use both classrooms within the combined early years unit, rather than learning only in their own room. That makes the Reception setting part of their everyday experience.
Based at Queens Terrace in Isleworth, the nursery caters for children aged 3 and 4, with 15-hour and 30-hour options. Children join from the September following their third birthday. This is the school’s own nursery provision, with its learning and support organised within Worple’s Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).
Books travel beyond the reading corner here. They support activities indoors and outside, while adults regularly share poetry, stories and rhymes. The EYFS curriculum brings learning and development together across seven areas; staff observe children’s play and interactions to decide what experiences to plan next. For parents, this means learning is assessed through what children do, rather than through completed work alone.
Number learning also happens through play. At the May 2024 inspection, Ofsted found that early years children practised combinations making 10 through bowling, while nursery children heard songs, rhymes and stories. These are concrete ways to connect early mathematics and language with activities children can join in.
Topics sometimes bring the wider world into the early years unit. In February 2024, Heston Fire Brigade visited as part of a topic about people who help others. Such encounters give children a real example to connect with their classroom learning. Access to the shared outdoor learning area also means that books and mathematical activities can extend beyond the classroom.
The staffing structure includes a nursery key worker, EYFS teaching assistants and an EYFS teacher whose responsibilities include early years and phonics leadership. Children’s learning journeys combine photographs and work with parental comments, giving families a way to contribute their knowledge of their child. School messages and weekly newsletters go through Parent Mail.
For children learning English as an additional language, school support includes picture timetables and stories in English and their home language. Familiar language is used alongside simple English instructions to explain classroom routines and help children settle.
SEND concerns begin with the class teacher, who refers them to the SEND team. School interventions include Makaton, Colourful Semantics and speech and language support. Children on the SEN register, or being monitored, have a Pupil Support Plan with targets reviewed each term; parents are invited to those discussions.
School meals are prepared at Brentford School for Girls and brought to Worple’s kitchen. Ordering is through Arbor, at least a week ahead. Dietary and religious requirements are catered for, and families must notify the school about allergies or intolerances so the kitchen can receive the relevant information.
Attending Worple’s nursery does not guarantee a Reception place. Families must make a separate application through the normal school admissions process. For Hounslow residents, that means applying to Hounslow Council through eAdmissions. The deadline for September 2026 entry was 15 January 2026, a past admissions cycle.
The shared early years unit provides a practical connection with Reception: nursery children already have access to its classroom and the outdoor learning area. Familiarity with those spaces is useful preparation for change. It is separate from the allocation of a school place.
Both nursery patterns start at 8:30am. The part-time morning option ends at 11:45am; the full-time pattern continues to 2:30pm. An optional later collection window runs until 3:00pm for the full-time pattern, which gives families some flexibility at the end of the session.
Nursery applications go directly to the school, using its nursery application form. For nursery enquiries, contact office@worple.hounslow.sch.uk or telephone 020 8321 8100. Visits to the school can also be arranged through reception.
