Nursery at All Saints' CofE Primary School, Putney
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 If you spot anything outdated or inaccurate, please let us know.
Colour mixing, handprint dragons and balancing on beams give Saplings, the nursery class at All Saints' CofE Primary School, Putney, a practical character. This is the starting point within a Church of England primary school on Putney Common, with play forming part of its approach to learning.
Ofsted judged the school's early years provision Good at its October 2022 inspection. That judgement covers the early years within the school, rather than a separately inspected nursery.
Play provides the starting point for learning, alongside the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), the framework covering children's development, learning and care. Development Matters also informs the approach, with attention to individual children, relationships and the surroundings in which they learn. For parents, the emphasis is on developing independence as well as taking part in creative activities.
Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised begins in Nursery. Vocabulary and the meaning of words receive explicit attention across lessons, giving language a place beyond phonics alone. Practical art provides another route into learning: nursery children have mixed colours and used handprints to make Chinese Dragons. These examples turn creative work into opportunities to explore materials and notice what changes.
Movement is equally concrete. The nursery PE progression includes rolling a ball to a partner, catching a large ball and taking turns during games. Dance involves copying movements and responding to music. Beams feature in balance work, while outdoor activities include working together to shift a large item. These tasks combine physical practice with cooperation.
In October 2022, children across the early years were building knowledge through a curriculum covering the framework's full scope. Curriculum precision. In some subjects, the important early foundations for later learning needed clearer definition. Families should weigh that concern alongside the practical activities: participation matters, but so does what children learn from it.
Support for additional needs sits within the school's SEND arrangements. An Inclusion Manager oversees provision, supported by a SEND Governor, and families can speak to the class teacher or reach the Inclusion Manager through the office. That gives parents a direct route for discussing their child's needs.
Support can take the form of an intervention or work in a small group within class. Staff receive SEND training, and specialist advice may involve speech and language therapy, educational psychology or occupational therapy. The school's approach includes early intervention when a need is identified, allowing support to respond to the individual child.
Emotional learning also begins in the early years. In October 2022, this included exploring feelings, personal well-being and friendships, making these part of learning rather than treating them solely as responses to difficulties.
Attending the nursery does not guarantee a Reception place. Nursery and Reception have separate admissions processes: families must apply again through the normal Reception route by the applicable deadline. Treat choosing Saplings and securing a Reception place as two separate decisions.
