Nursery at Servite RC 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 If you spot anything outdated or inaccurate, please let us know.
Climbing, digging and imaginative play give Servite’s early years provision a physical, exploratory character alongside focused work on language and early number skills. This is the nursery class within Servite RC Primary School on Fulham Road, serving children aged three and four, with an annual nursery admission number of 30.
The school’s Ofsted document dated 3 February 2026 gives early years a Strong standard judgement. That judgement covers the early years provision within the school, rather than a separate nursery inspection. For parents, the useful detail is the combination of structured learning, outdoor activity and support adapted to children’s needs.
Prayer and registration begin the nursery’s morning routine. Within the early years foundation stage (EYFS), the learning priorities are practical foundations: developing vocabulary, beginning to read and building mathematical understanding. Adults demonstrate language during everyday exchanges and check what children understand, adjusting their teaching when a child needs a different explanation or more help.
Outdoor activity has a clear learning purpose. Digging and climbing develop coordination, strength and balance, while pretend play gives children opportunities to explore ideas. Adults supervise activities and help children learn how to judge risks. Physical confidence and independence grow together.
Indoors, orderly spaces and predictable routines help children become comfortable with school life. In February 2026, children’s learning was recognised and their work celebrated, helping them take pride in what they had done. Staff also received coaching each week, giving the team regular opportunities to develop its early years teaching.
Settling starts with a conversation about the individual child. Home or school visits are arranged for nursery starters, allowing families and staff to discuss needs before the new routine takes hold. The staffing structure includes a nursery class teacher and a nursery officer.
Meals form part of the school’s daily routine, with children eating in the hall after prayer. For pupils needing extra attention at lunchtime, meal supervisors are informed about dietary, physical or behavioural needs. Intimate care facilities support children in the EYFS, so personal care can be addressed alongside learning.
Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities receive planned help to participate alongside their peers. Individual Support Plans are reviewed each term and shared with parents. The Early Years Intervention Team can support children where behavioural difficulties or concerns about development arise. These arrangements connect classroom support with family discussions and specialist advice.
Nursery attendance does not guarantee a Reception place and gives no priority under the 2026–27 Reception admission criteria. Families must apply again through their home local authority and complete the school’s Supplementary Information Form.
For September 2026 entry, the application deadline was 15 January 2026 at 5pm. That deadline has passed; it belongs to that admission cycle. Transition support is a separate matter: the school uses an annual programme of class handovers, and can create social stories when a change is likely to be difficult. Familiarity and preparation help a child with the move, but do not secure admission.
Full-time commitment. The nursery offer combines 15 funded weekly hours for eligible children aged three and four with 18 additional charged hours. There is no part-time option. Families should obtain current charges from the school before accepting a place.
The admissions offer runs from 8:55am to 3:30pm, while the nursery timetable gives a 9am start and the same finish. These differ by five minutes, so allow for the earlier start when planning the day. Nursery applications use the online Supplementary Information Form; enquiries can go to office@serviteprimaryschool.co.uk or 020 7352 2588.
