Nursery at Larmenier & Sacred Heart 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 If you spot anything outdated or inaccurate, please let us know.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 daily story chosen by the children gives this nursery a distinctive starting point: listening comes with a say in what happens next. Nursery children vote for the book they will hear, making a familiar part of the day an opportunity to express a preference and take part in a shared decision.
The provision belongs to Larmenier & Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School in Brook Green, a Catholic school whose age range begins at three. Ofsted graded the school's early years provision Outstanding at the inspection on 24 and 25 September 2024. That judgement covers early years within the school; it is not a separate nursery rating.
Stories have a daily place in Nursery. The children's vote determines the story for that session, giving them a concrete choice within a shared activity. For a parent, this is a useful detail about the day: books are something children participate in choosing, as well as something they listen to.
Shape work provides another specific picture of early learning. In September 2024, children in early years learnt shape names, drew shapes and identified patterns involving them. These activities connect vocabulary, drawing and recognition, giving children different ways to explore the same mathematical ideas. The early years curriculum arranges knowledge in a sequence so that later learning builds on it.
Songs, rhymes and poems also carry a social purpose. Children join in with material about friendship, linking language activities with learning how to relate to other people. Together, the story vote, shape activities and friendship themes show a day with opportunities for both shared participation and learning specific concepts.
Learning the daily routines is part of settling. In September 2024, early years children picked up the school's expectations quickly, helping them become comfortable with school life. For families considering a first school experience, that connection between predictable routines and settling is relevant: understanding what happens next can make participation easier.
Friendships receive explicit attention from the start of early years. Children are taught about healthy relationships and respect for themselves and other people. This gives the social side of nursery a teaching purpose alongside the songs and poems: children are learning about how to treat one another, as well as joining group activities.
Nursery attendance does not guarantee a Reception place. Families must make a separate Reception application through the normal admissions process by the applicable deadline. Choosing the nursery should therefore be a decision about the child's nursery experience, with the Reception application treated as a separate step. Familiarity with school routines is useful preparation, but it does not secure admission.
The nursery is part of the school at 41a Brook Green, Hammersmith, London, W6 7BL. The school telephone number is 02087489444, providing a direct contact point for nursery enquiries. For families organising the nursery years, the distinction between joining this provision and applying for Reception remains an essential planning consideration.
