Nursery at Sellincourt 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 If you spot anything outdated or inaccurate, please let us know.
Stories, songs and sound games give Sellincourt’s nursery a recognisable character. Little Wandle Foundations shapes its early reading work, while Jigsaw introduces children to feelings, relationships and difference. This is the school’s own nursery on Sellincourt Road in Tooting, with morning, afternoon and full-time sessions.
Language learning starts with listening. Through Little Wandle Foundations, children practise combining sounds aloud each day, alongside songs, rhymes and stories. For parents, that means early reading preparation includes hearing how words work. The nursery also uses Little Wandle’s Foundations for a Love of Reading stories, giving shared books a named place in the programme.
Personal and social learning has a separate structure. Jigsaw runs from nursery onwards, with a different theme each half term and weekly lessons. Relationships, Healthy Me and Celebrating Differences are among its themes. Circle discussions and calming activities give children opportunities to express ideas and listen to others; the content is adapted to their age.
Thursday is the nursery’s PE day. Elsewhere in the school’s early-years provision, Diwali activities have included rangoli-making and a parent-led puja, while Eid has been explored through stories, crafts and treats. These are concrete ways of introducing children to celebrations and family traditions.
Animals supplied another learning focus in May 2026. The nursery topic Legendary Beasts and Curious Creatures connected work on animals and minibeasts with planned visits to Deen City Farm. The trip letters described minibus travel and opportunities to see and feed animals, taking the topic beyond classroom discussion. The school also has a named Early Years Hall, equipped with a screen, projector and sound system.
An Early Years Phase Leader forms part of the school’s leadership structure, and there is an early-years SENCO contact. Registration asks parents about special educational needs, dietary requirements, medical conditions and regular medication. Providing these details gives staff information relevant to a child’s care.
Full-time nursery children can have school meals or bring lunch from home. School meals are charged, with payment through ParentPay; the office supplies the registration letter needed to set up an account. Switching between packed lunches and school dinners requires at least half a term’s notice, so lunch arrangements need planning rather than daily changes.
Parent contact includes opportunities to discuss learning. Nursery families were included in the October 2025 teacher consultations, covering social and academic progress. A Nursery Reading Café is scheduled for 14 October 2026, from 9am to 9.45am, providing another occasion for families to engage with reading.
Attending Sellincourt’s nursery does not guarantee a Reception place. Families must apply separately for Reception through the normal application process and meet its deadline. Treat the nursery choice and the Reception application as separate decisions.
For detailed admissions and appeals information, the school directs families to Richmond and Wandsworth Local Authority. Nursery applications themselves go to the school office.
The full-time session runs from 9am to 3.30pm, with lunch between noon and 12.30pm. Morning children attend from 9am until noon; the afternoon session starts at 12.30pm and finishes at 3.30pm. These are distinct attendance patterns, so collection arrangements depend on the session chosen.
Nursery trip instructions require school uniform and sensible shoes. The school uniform combines a yellow polo shirt with a royal-blue cardigan or jumper and grey or black bottoms. School Uniform Direct supplies it, and the office carries limited stock.
