Nursery at Roe Green Infant School
Last reviewed: August 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 If you spot anything outdated or inaccurate, please let us know.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 daily outdoor area, a children’s kitchen and sound-focused early reading give Roe Green’s nursery a practical identity of its own. The provision is part of Roe Green Infant School in Kingsbury and is for children aged three to four. It sits within the school’s Early Years Foundation Stage, so nursery learning is planned as the first step in a continuous early-years curriculum rather than as separate childcare.
The school publishes morning, afternoon and full-day patterns. This gives families more than one way to use the nursery, although places and current pattern availability need to be checked directly. The setting is term-time provision within the infant school.
Children learn through the Early Years Foundation Stage: communication and language, physical and personal development sit alongside early literacy, mathematics, understanding the world and expressive arts. Roe Green’s nursery curriculum includes Phase 1 phonics foundations. In parent terms, that means listening games, rhythm, rhyme and distinguishing sounds before formal reading instruction begins.
The environment supports learning beyond one classroom. The school says its Early Years outdoor area is used every day for planned activities, while the children’s kitchen supports work on healthy eating and practical skills. Early-years examples recorded by Ofsted in February 2023 included feeding farm animals and searching for minibeasts. These are concrete experiences through which children can practise vocabulary, observation and turn-taking.
The published session choices shape the day. A child may attend a morning or afternoon session, while a full-day place joins the two parts of the day. Families should ask how child-led play, adult-guided groups and outdoor time are balanced in the pattern they are offered.
Ofsted’s February 2023 ungraded inspection made findings that specifically included the early years. Inspectors reported trusting relationships between children and adults from Nursery upwards, and said staff identified children needing extra help through established systems. For a three-year-old, familiar adults and early recognition of additional needs matter because both make it easier to participate in play and learning.
The same report found that staff adapt teaching for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities and for children learning English as an additional language. Families can therefore discuss their child’s needs with the school before starting and ask what settling arrangements, home communication and individual support will look like. Food arrangements and the current approach to snacks or lunch should also be confirmed with the school for the session offered.
Nursery attendance does not guarantee a Reception place. A family must make a separate Reception application through Brent Council’s coordinated primary admissions process by the deadline for their child’s entry year. Nursery admission itself is handled directly by the school, so these are two distinct applications.
Families should read the arrangements for the relevant entry year rather than assume that being settled at Roe Green changes the need to apply. Curriculum continuity may help a child feel familiar with school routines, but the Reception decision remains a separate process.
The school publishes morning, afternoon and full-day nursery options during term time. Eligible children may use government-funded early education, subject to the school’s availability and booking arrangements. Ask the school which patterns are currently offered, whether a lunch period is included in a full day, what children should wear and bring, and how drop-off and collection work.
Applications for nursery go directly to Roe Green Infant School. Families seeking Reception later must use Brent Council’s separate primary-school application route. Checking both timetables early avoids treating the nursery offer as the Reception application.
The nursery is for children aged three to four within the school’s Early Years Foundation Stage.
The school publishes morning, afternoon and full-day nursery patterns during term time. Families should confirm which pattern has space when applying.

Apply directly to Roe Green Infant School and ask for the current nursery form, timetable and availability.
No. Reception requires a separate application through Brent Council’s coordinated primary admissions process, and nursery attendance is not an admissions guarantee.
