Nursery at Queen's Manor 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 If you spot anything outdated or inaccurate, please let us know.
Play and explicit teaching share the nursery day at Queen's Manor, with indoor and outdoor spaces giving children room to explore and practise what they learn. A qualified teacher leads the provision, supported by Early Years Educators. This is a school nursery with a teaching team and a curriculum that combines adult guidance with independent activity.
Children aged three and four attend, starting from the term after their third birthday. The nursery forms part of the school's Early Years Foundation Stage on Lysia Street, London. It operates during term time for 38 weeks each year, so the school calendar shapes family childcare arrangements.
Adult-led lessons introduce skills and knowledge; independent classroom activity gives children opportunities to use them. Learning takes place outside as well as indoors. That combination matters: children have both direct teaching and time to explore through play.
Development Matters and the Early Years Foundation Stage framework guide the curriculum. In parent language, this covers talking and listening, movement, relationships and emotions, alongside early literacy, maths, creative expression and learning about the world. Communication and early reading receive particular attention.
Daily stories give that reading emphasis a concrete shape. Children retell familiar tales and act them out, with nursery rhymes also contributing to their language learning. These activities give children opportunities to use words and revisit stories through play. Maths follows a sequence aligned with White Rose Maths, introducing learning in small steps before children use it in different contexts.
In June 2024, Ofsted found that early-years activities and resources helped children retain their understanding of shapes and number bonds. It also identified enjoyment of books beginning in the early years. These are specific early-years findings, rather than a separate nursery rating.
Jigsaw provides the programme for personal, social and health learning from the early years. Themes include Relationships and Healthy Me, giving families a concrete sense of how friendships, feelings and wellbeing sit alongside literacy and number work.
An online Learning Journey connects classroom learning with home. Parents can add photographs and videos of their child's weekly home activities, while a curriculum overview each half term explains the next learning focus. This gives families a way to contribute, as well as follow progress.
For children with special educational needs, concerns can be discussed with the teacher and SENCO. Across the school, parents whose children are on the SEN register meet the Inclusion Lead at least termly and contribute to reviewing support. That creates a recurring opportunity to discuss a child's needs.
Lunch offers a practical choice. Taylor Shaw prepares meals from scratch in the school's kitchen, and nursery children can have a hot lunch or bring a packed one. Meals are chargeable unless the child qualifies for Free School Meals. Packed lunches must exclude nuts; allergies and medical diets require a completed form.
Attending this nursery does not guarantee a Reception place. Families must make a separate application through the eAdmissions portal, with Hammersmith & Fulham Council handling Reception admissions.
For September 2027 entry, the on-time deadline is midnight on 15 January 2027. Applications received later are treated as late and processed after 16 April 2027. Choosing the nursery and applying for Reception are separate decisions: families should keep the application deadline in their calendar even while their child attends here.
