Nursery at Wilbury 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 If you spot anything outdated or inaccurate, please let us know.
Stories and rhymes start young at Wilbury: even children in the two-year-old provision were enthusiastically performing them from memory in April 2023. Language gives this nursery its character. Provision includes Wilbury TWOs for children starting the term after their second birthday, alongside Nursery for three- and four-year-olds, within the primary school in Edmonton.
Morning, afternoon and full-time options give families different ways to organise the week. Ofsted graded the school's early years provision Outstanding following its inspection on 18 and 19 April 2023. That judgement covers early years within the school; it is not a separate nursery rating.
Early learning connects language with participation. Reading teaching begins when children enter early years, while stories and remembered rhymes give the youngest children something to say and perform. In April 2023, staff had training to support early reading, and early years staff had the subject knowledge needed for their teaching. For parents, the concrete emphasis is on building language from the beginning.
The early years foundation stage (EYFS) here includes learning to handle feelings as well as developing early literacy. Teaching about emotions starts in the two-year-old provision. These are connected parts of the child's day: joining in with a rhyme and learning to manage a feeling both help children participate alongside others.
Activities also extend beyond the classroom. Early Years children joined RBC Race for the Kids by moving around the MUGA in ten different ways, with skipping, jumping and hopping among them. This is a specific example of physical activity using the school's outdoor space, rather than a description of the daily timetable.
Nursery children also contributed projects to the 2025 science exhibition. Their entries sat alongside those from older pupils, giving young children a way to take part in a shared school event through their own creations.
Support for additional needs reaches into early years. In April 2023, children with special educational needs and/or disabilities benefited from collaboration between school leaders, staff and other professionals. Teaching and materials were adjusted to help children access learning. Inclusion Leads and the SENCo also help families with assessments, outside-agency referrals and the EHCP process, providing a practical route for discussing support.
Everyday preparation matters too. Families are asked to provide named spare clothing that can stay in their child's locker, plus a named plastic water bottle. Spare clothes supplied by school should be washed and returned as soon as possible. Food brought into school must exclude nut products because some children have severe allergies. Check lunchbox contents carefully.
Email is a regular channel for reminders, so keeping contact details current helps families stay connected with school routines.
Nursery attendance does not guarantee a Reception place. Families must make a separate Reception application through the Online Admissions System before 15 January. Treat that application as a distinct step, even when a child already attends Wilbury Nursery.
Three- and four-year-olds have a 15-hour weekly nursery entitlement. A limited number of full-time places are offered to eligible working parents using a 30-hour code; Wilbury provides 35 hours weekly, with the additional hour each day charged. Contact the school for current charges. TWOs also has funded routes for eligible families, including Enfield's Terrific Twos, and a limited number of paid places.
Morning drop-off gates open from 8.30 to 8.55, with collection at 11.15. Afternoon drop-off runs from 12.30 to 12.55; TWOs collection is at 3pm and Nursery collection at 3.15pm. These are gate and collection arrangements, so build the journey around the relevant class.
Wraparound care. Breakfast Club and After School Club accept children from Reception once they attend full time, through to Year 6. Nursery families therefore need childcare arrangements that fit the nursery sessions.
For enquiries, call 020 8807 5335 or email office@wilbury.enfield.sch.uk. Open mornings are drop-in visits, and the office can arrange a tour at another time.
