Nursery at Brampton 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 If you spot anything outdated or inaccurate, please let us know.
An enclosed garden music area gives Brampton’s nursery day a distinctive note: children can choose instruments and make music with staff, while a music teacher leads singing twice a week. This is one concrete example of learning extending beyond the classroom.
Brampton Primary School’s own nursery serves three- and four-year-olds on Brampton Road in East Ham. It has 104 places, with two morning classes and two afternoon classes described in its admissions information. Ofsted rated the school’s early years provision Outstanding at the inspection on 13 and 14 December 2023. That judgement covers early years within the school, rather than a separately inspected nursery.
Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) learning here includes practising conversation, understanding feelings and exploring the world around children. Regular nursery carpet gatherings and smaller groups address these areas according to children’s needs. These nursery sessions are separate from Jigsaw, the school’s named personal and social education scheme.
Early reading has a recognisable method. Read Write Inc. introduces Fred Talk: adults sound out selected words so children can begin connecting sounds together. During the year, children are also introduced to a picture frieze and phonics sessions lasting approximately ten minutes. Stories also become something children can act out, using props to give familiar tales a practical dimension.
A Draw-a-Picture book gives nursery children somewhere to make marks and illustrate people, thoughts and ideas. The purpose is communication before formal writing. In EYFS art, painting and clay provide opportunities to experiment with materials while practising hand control.
Music happens indoors as well as in the garden, where instruments are accessible and adults join children’s music-making. Number activities add another strand. In December 2023, early years children received skilled support with number sequences and language development; they also explored people in their local community. These examples connect early learning to things children can discuss, hear and do.
Before a child starts, returning the nursery pack leads to staff arranging a home visit and a start date. This gives families contact with the team before nursery begins. In December 2023, early years staff had a detailed understanding of their key children and supported communication skilfully. Children also practised identifying feelings and putting them into words.
At the December 2023 inspection, parents were invited to early years books for breakfast sessions to read with their children. Nursery curriculum newsletters provide another connection between home and learning.
For children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), the school’s support process uses learning support plans when provision goes beyond what peers receive. Targets draw on professional advice and discussions with parents, giving families a role in planning support. The inclusion team can be contacted at inclusion@brampton.newham.sch.uk.
Nursery attendance does not guarantee a Reception place. Families must make a separate Reception application through the normal admissions process and meet the deadline for their entry year.
Once Pupil Services has allocated a Reception place, Brampton arranges meetings and contacts parents during the preceding term. That preparation follows allocation; it should not be treated as an admissions advantage.
The admissions model asks families to choose a morning or afternoon preference for a 15-hour part-time place. The school also advertises 15- and 30-hour placements, with funded 30-hour childcare for eligible three- and four-year-olds. Eligibility matters when planning the family’s childcare pattern.
Use the nursery registration form linked from the admissions page to begin an enquiry. Families can also arrange an appointment to look around during or after the school day, allowing time for a staff member to show them around and answer questions. The school office is reachable on 020 8472 0830 or at info@brampton.newham.sch.uk.
The nursery offers placements for three- and four-year-olds. Children can join the waiting list after their second birthday.
