Nursery at St Monica'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 If you spot anything outdated or inaccurate, please let us know.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 Catholic primary-school setting on Hoxton Street gives this nursery its defining context. St Monica's Catholic Primary School has nursery provision alongside a separately identified Two-Year-Old Provision - Preschool. Those labels matter when choosing which provision to enquire about: the nursery and the provision for younger children should not be treated as interchangeable.
The school is in Hoxton, within the London borough of Hackney, at 43 Hoxton Street, N1 6QN. For local families, that gives a concrete starting point for considering the journey alongside the choice of provision.
Makaton is one specific feature of communication across St Monica's. The school uses signs and symbols to support children's language and communication development. For a parent, the useful implication is a shared way of communicating that can extend beyond spoken words.
Nursery Rhyme Activity Sheets and a Christmas Hello Song are among the Makaton resources offered for use at home. These give families concrete examples to use together, connecting the school's communication approach with familiar songs and rhymes.
Inclusion is an explicit school aim. St Monica's says children with special educational needs and disabilities should participate in school life and have access to an accessible curriculum. It follows the SEND Code of Practice alongside guidance from Hackney and the Diocese of Westminster.
At school level, specialist staff work with children with SEND, with support planned around individual needs. The Learning Hub provides a physical space for additional support outside the classroom. Its activities include specialist work, targeted interventions and work in small groups. These are school-wide arrangements, rather than a description of a nursery child's individual support package.
Families and external professionals are part of that support structure. For parents considering the nursery, the relevant principle is individual planning: a child's needs should shape the support, rather than the school describing one identical arrangement for everyone.
Attending the nursery does not guarantee a place in St Monica's Reception. Nursery and Reception admission are separate processes. Families must apply again for Reception through the normal application route and meet the applicable deadline.
Treat that application as a separate decision in the family calendar. Choosing the nursery should therefore rest on the provision itself, rather than an assumption that attendance secures the next school place.
The school identifies 30-hour provision for children aged 2 to 4 with an eligibility-code requirement, alongside education for 3- and 4-year-olds. Confirm eligibility for your child's age with the school office.
