Nursery at Christ Church Bentinck 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 If you spot anything outdated or inaccurate, please let us know.
A square built from sticks captures the nursery's approach to learning: something children can make becomes something they can explore and understand. At Christ Church Bentinck, early mathematics includes the language of angles and vertices alongside practical exploration.
One nursery class provides full-time places within the school's Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). This is the nursery provision of a Church of England primary school in Marylebone, serving families from different faiths. Its Christian values include responsibility, reconciliation, resilience and respect.
Practical activity carries a clear learning purpose. In May 2024, Ofsted described nursery children constructing a square with sticks, with adults introducing and practising mathematical vocabulary. Length, vertex and angle were part of that work. The practical task developed children's understanding of shapes alongside their mathematical vocabulary.
The EYFS brings children's care, development and learning together within one framework. For parents, that means early education includes how children grow and manage routines as well as what they learn. The school's early-years page also provides the parent guide What to expect in the Early Years Foundation Stage, a useful way to understand that framework.
Reading begins in Nursery through the school's early reading curriculum. In May 2024, early-years staff combined high expectations with support for familiar routines. The combination matters: children begin learning within a day whose expectations adults help them understand.
Family support includes services working across the school. The Mental Health Support Team (MHST) from BWW Mind works with parents individually on anxiety or challenging behaviour, using guided self-help. Sessions can take place online or at school. Workshops also address sleep habits and understanding behaviour, giving parents practical topics to explore alongside their child's nursery experience.
For special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), the school's information page brings together its SEND information report, Westminster's SEND Local Offer and an information, advice and support service. These provide routes into information for families considering additional support. A speech and language therapist is also listed as working at CCB.
Nursery attendance does not guarantee a Reception place. Families must make a separate Reception application through the normal admissions process and meet the applicable deadline.
The admissions page provides separate Nursery and Reception forms, alongside links to E-admissions and Westminster school admissions. Treat the next application as a distinct decision, rather than assuming that a nursery place carries forward.
Full-time places are the nursery's stated attendance model. Nursery enquiries can go to admissions@ccbprimary.co.uk or the school telephone number, 02033514135.
An Open Morning can be booked through those same contacts. Prospective parents can meet staff and see the facilities, making this a concrete opportunity to get a feel for the provision before applying.
The school is at 39 Cosway Street, London, NW1 5NS. Its contact page gives Marylebone Station as a three-minute walk away, a useful detail for families planning the journey.
No. Families must apply separately for Reception through the normal admissions process and meet the applicable deadline.
Yes. The school describes one nursery class providing full-time places.
Children begin the school's early reading curriculum when they join Nursery, according to the May 2024 inspection findings.
