Nursery at Floreat Wandsworth 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 If you spot anything outdated or inaccurate, please let us know.
A climbing frame, a trim-trail and a nursery with its own part of the school building give Floreat Wandsworth’s youngest children room to explore. This is the nursery provision at Floreat Wandsworth Primary School in Earlsfield, welcoming children aged two to four. Its purpose-built space connects directly to the EYFS playground shared with Reception, so outdoor learning sits alongside classroom activity.
There are usually two rooms: one for children aged two to three and another for those aged three to four. Older two-year-olds may join the older room when applications from younger children outnumber those from the older group. At the Ofsted inspection on 19 and 20 November 2024, early years provision was judged Outstanding. That judgement covers the school’s early years provision, rather than a separate nursery inspection.
Choosing time alternates with adult-led learning. A typical full day begins with a morning meeting and phonics, followed by time for children’s own interests. Fruit and a story punctuate the morning; English and maths sessions sit around lunch, and reflection and milk round off the day. The timetable can change, but this combination gives families a clear picture of the balance between group routines and independent activity.
Learning follows the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), with children practising language, number and social skills through lessons and play. Weekly activities include Spanish, PE, Jigsaw, T4W and Sounds Write. Children can choose activities both indoors and outdoors. In November 2024, adults demonstrated vocabulary for children to practise during exploration and play, connecting explicit language teaching with what children were doing themselves. Character education also begins in Nursery.
Outdoor opportunities extend beyond the shared EYFS space. Children can use two additional playgrounds, including the climbing frame and trim-trail, and a 10-week Forest School programme is planned across the spring and summer terms. Local outings include Earlsfield library and King George’s Park; a summer coach trip takes children to Bocketts Farm. Parents read to the children weekly, while visitors include dentists and community police officers. These experiences bring books, animals and local life into the nursery week.
A qualified teacher oversees the provision, supported by other qualified nursery staff, and children have a key worker. The nursery shares the school’s inclusion and leadership teams. For September starters, the first week is staggered, with individual start dates given at an induction meeting in late June or early July. This makes the initial schedule something families can plan around.
Food is part of conversation as well as care. Snacks include fruit or vegetables, with discussion about their taste, colour and growth. Cool Milk provides free milk for nursery children, and each child has a labelled water cup. Lunch can be a meal cooked by the school kitchen team or a healthy packed lunch; hot lunches are charged separately and paid through ParentPay.
Parents have three evenings to discuss their child across the year, alongside at least three Family Learning Events and an open-door approach. For concerns about additional needs, the first contact is the class teacher, with the SENCO involved in agreeing targets and a review. Families can also contact senco@wandsworth.floreat.org.uk, giving them a direct route into the school’s support arrangements.
Nursery attendance does not guarantee a Reception place, and there is no automatic transfer. Families must make a separate application through the normal admissions process for their home local authority. For September 2027 entry, the deadline is Friday 15 January 2027; Wandsworth Borough Council manages the coordinated admissions scheme.
Attendance at this nursery confers no Reception priority under the 2027–28 arrangements. Priority categories cover looked-after and previously looked-after children, siblings and qualifying children of staff, followed by other children ranked by distance. Sharing a playground with Reception brings familiarity with the school environment, but it does not change the admissions decision.
For 2026–27, weekly patterns cover 15 hours at either end of the week, 30 hours or 34.5 hours. The beginning-of-week pattern runs Monday and Tuesday from 9am to 3.30pm, then Wednesday from 9am to 11am. The end-of-week pattern starts on Wednesday from 1pm to 3.30pm, continues on Thursday from 9am to 3.30pm and finishes on Friday from 9am to 3pm. Funded, partly funded and parent-funded options are offered; eligible working families can apply for 30 funded hours. Ask the school for current charges.
September 2026 nursery applications have closed, with a waiting-list application route available. Enquiries go to admissions@wandsworth.floreat.org.uk.
