Nursery at Evergreen 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 If you spot anything outdated or inaccurate, please let us know.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 planting plot and class African Snails give Evergreen’s youngest children living things to investigate, alongside short teaching sessions and time to choose their own play. This is nursery provision within an independent Islamic primary school at Swan Mews, Parsons Green. Its Muslim ethos shapes expectations of family partnership as well as learning.
At the September 2025 Ofsted inspection, early years provision was judged Outstanding. That judgement covers the school’s early years provision, rather than a separately inspected nursery. Children’s communication, independence and willingness to persist with difficult tasks were strengths, giving parents a useful picture of the learning habits being developed.
Morning and afternoon nursery sessions each include two carpet sessions lasting 10 minutes. These bring together introductory phonics, talk and listening, and mathematical activities. Around them, children learn through play, activities guided by adults and independent exploration. Short periods together give the session structure while leaving room for children’s interests.
The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) combines physical development, communication and social learning with early literacy, maths, creativity and understanding the world. Evergreen uses Letters and sounds for phonics and draws on the White Rose maths programme. Its maths approach moves from practical objects to pictures and then abstract ideas, helping children connect symbols with something they have handled or seen.
Daily learning extends outdoors. The planting area in the playground supports exploration in different weather, while caring for African Snails brings observation into the classroom. Indoors, a book corner, spaces for making marks and a nursery phonics area give children places to revisit learning independently.
Theme activities add concrete experiences. During Science Week 2025, early years children experimented with a floating egg and colour mixing. A spring 2025 visit to the Wetlands centre connected life-cycle learning with birds and nest building. Book Week activities have included Perform for Schools storytelling using The Enormous Turnip. These examples turn topics into things children can try, watch and discuss.
Settling starts with familiar territory: the first term’s topic centres on children and their families. That gives a new child something recognisable to talk about while relationships develop. All EYFS staff hold an early years qualification, and the team plans activities together.
For parent communication, the home-school agreement promises a meeting with teachers each term, progress information and updates through newsletters and notices. It also asks families to supply a packed lunch daily, favouring choices such as yoghurt and fruit over sweets or fizzy drinks. Lunch therefore needs preparation at home.
Kindness is taught through activities children can understand. During the 2024 early years anti-bullying week, poster making and games explored how to help others, with Islamic teaching included in the discussions. Additional support costs. The home-school agreement places additional costs on parents if extra facilities are necessary for a child’s special needs. Families should account for that condition when considering support arrangements.
Nursery attendance does not guarantee a Reception place. Contact the school office to confirm the Reception application process; it handles admissions enquiries and provides a school application form.
Curriculum continuity is a separate matter. Long-term planning links learning across nursery and Reception, providing a basis for the next stage of learning. It should not be treated as an admissions advantage.
The nursery curriculum describes morning and afternoon sessions. The school advertises charged wraparound care, with applications through its office. Ask the office whether nursery children are eligible and confirm current charges. The admissions page directs families to Childcare Choices to check eligibility for support of up to 30 hours, so funding depends on eligibility.
Tours can be booked through the office at admin@evergreenprimary.org.uk or on 07562 778537. The home-school agreement requires appropriate school uniform and asks families to keep arrival and collection punctual, with coats, hats and gloves brought during winter terms.
Morning and afternoon sessions each contain two 10-minute carpet sessions covering phonics, communication and language, and maths, alongside play and adult-guided activities.
Yes. Children access outdoor learning daily, including the planting area in the playground. Caring for class African Snails also supports learning about living things.
The first term focuses on children and their families, using a familiar subject as the starting point for learning and conversation.
No. Contact the school office to confirm the Reception application process. Curriculum continuity does not guarantee admission.
The home-school agreement asks parents to send a packed lunch each day, encourages fruit and yoghurt, and excludes items such as sweets and fizzy drinks.
