Nursery at Streatham Wells Primary
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 If you spot anything outdated or inaccurate, please let us know.
An upgraded nursery classroom and care extending from 8am to 6pm give Streatham Wells a practical appeal for families balancing early education with work. The nursery belongs to Streatham Wells Primary on Palace Road in London. Funded entitlement starts in the term after a child's third birthday. The nursery has capacity for 26 full-time, 30-hour places and one September intake; vacancies during the year go to the next child on the waiting list. Morning and afternoon places are also an aim, with availability varying according to demand and eligibility.
In January 2024, Ofsted graded the school's early years provision Outstanding. This is an early years judgement within the school inspection, rather than a separate nursery rating.
Children's interests and individual needs guide the nursery's stated approach. Its classroom has been upgraded, giving the provision a renewed indoor base. The wider school has an open-plan interior and grounds with gardens and trees; these describe the school setting around the nursery, rather than a separate nursery outdoor area.
Independence is an explicit part of early years learning. In January 2024, children were encouraged to manage more for themselves and behave politely. For parents, that gives a concrete sense of the habits being developed alongside learning: growing autonomy and consideration for others.
A nursery teacher also holds the Creative Arts Lead role. Support for additional needs connects families with the class teacher and the school's special educational needs coordinator, giving parents a route to discuss development and agree support.
For nursery starters with identified SEND, the special educational needs coordinator or early years manager makes a home visit and visits an existing setting where applicable. Settling arrangements can be adjusted by agreement with parents, followed by a meeting with the teacher to consider learning and progress. That makes the starting process responsive to the child's needs.
Across the school, SEND support moves from classroom adjustments to targeted intervention and specialist advice. Parents help review and develop education plans each term. Complex support needs. Specialist resources are limited, and the school acknowledges that some complex needs can be difficult to meet in mainstream provision. Families needing that level of support should discuss provision with the coordinator.
Nursery attendance does not guarantee a Reception place or confer an attendance-based priority. Families must make a separate application through Lambeth's normal admissions process, using eAdmissions; residents of another borough apply through their home borough. Apply by the deadline for the relevant entry year. For the 2024 entry cycle, this was midnight on Monday 15 January 2024.
Transition support is a separate matter. For children with SEND moving between classes, staff share information with the next teacher, families are invited to meet that teacher, and a transition book can be provided if helpful. Familiarity and preparation do not replace the admissions application.
Morning nursery runs from 9am to noon, afternoon nursery from 12.30pm to 3.30pm, and full-time nursery from 9am to 3.30pm. The funded model covers 15 hours over 38 weeks, starting in the term after the third birthday; an additional 15 hours depends on eligibility. Entitlement can be shared between providers.
Wraparound care includes breakfast from 8am to 8.45am and afternoon care from 3.30pm to 6pm. Online registration is required before either club is used. Ask the school for current charges.
Nursery enquiries and completed applications go directly to the school office at office@streathamwells.org, with forms also accepted by post or in person. Open mornings can be booked to see the school and nursery.
