Nursery at St George's CofE 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 If you spot anything outdated or inaccurate, please let us know.
Family Learning, Nursery Stay and Play and weekly home learning give this nursery a clear character: parents have an active part in their child's school life. At St George's CofE Primary School on Corunna Road in Battersea, the nursery belongs to the school's Early Years provision, with a nursery teacher within a team that also includes Early Years teaching assistants.
There are 30 nursery places. Children normally start in September after their third birthday; they can also join in the term after their third birthday if spaces are available. The Church of England identity extends into the Early Years approach, which connects children's development with the school's Christian vision.
Language is a concrete thread through the nursery curriculum. At the June 2024 inspection, Ofsted described nursery children exploring sounds through poetry, rhymes and songs. These are early reading activities that begin with listening and spoken language.
Vocabulary teaching starts in Early Years, using pictures, explanations of meaning and context. The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) activities also connect learning to people children recognise: family members, doctors, firefighters and teachers. Children discuss pictures of familiar situations from the past and compare story characters. That gives early discussion a starting point in their own experience.
The Early Years programme aims to develop children's choices, kindness and confidence in speaking, alongside reading and letter formation. Family Learning brings children, staff and parents together, while nursery home learning goes out each week. These give families concrete ways to take part in learning beyond the classroom.
Conversations with staff have a regular place in the day: teachers are available after school to discuss concerns. Nursery Stay and Play provides another opportunity for parents to take part. The emphasis is on contact between home and the teaching team.
For additional needs, the school's SEND arrangements consider each child's circumstances when deciding support. Parents can arrange a SENDCo appointment through the office. This provides a direct route into a discussion about their child.
Family support extends beyond classroom learning. The Family Support Worker is available five days a week, and the playground information board points families towards support. Sip and Support offers a weekly coffee afternoon; Parent Gym is a six-week parenting programme. The school also works with the Battersea Education Wellbeing Service to access early help for children and families.
Nursery attendance does not guarantee a Reception place. Every family must make a separate application through the council for the borough where they live, using the normal Reception application process and meeting its deadline.
A foundation nursery place does not carry the paperwork forward either. Families seeking a foundation Reception place must submit a new supplementary information form, completed by their vicar. Treat the nursery choice and the Reception application as separate decisions.
Early Years hours run from 8:35am to 3:20pm. On-site wraparound care starts at 7:45am and runs to 3:20pm; a collecting after-school club at St. Mary's RC Primary can care for children until 6:30pm. The later finish therefore involves another school site.
Nursery application forms are collected from the school office. For enquiries, contact admin@st-georges.wandsworth.sch.uk or call 020 7622 1870.
