Nursery at Kineton Green 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 If you spot anything outdated or inaccurate, please let us know.
Longer nursery days and a shorter Friday shape the week at Kineton Green Primary School. There are 30 full-time nursery places, with a 30-hour weekly care model. The usual intake is in September after a child's third birthday, placing this provision at the beginning of their school experience.
The nursery has its own class teacher within the school's teaching team. For families, the central practical choice is between the longer weekly pattern and two alternatives offering 15 hours.
Continuous blocks of attendance organise the nursery week. Under the 30-hour funded pattern, children attend from 8:35am to 3:15pm on Monday to Thursday, then from 8:35am to noon on Friday. This makes Friday collection earlier unless families choose the charged afternoon extension.
Learning has nursery-specific planning across the autumn, spring and summer half-terms. A Nursery Reading Spine gives reading its own named place in that planning. Across the school, curriculum aims include building vocabulary and encouraging enjoyment of reading: a useful emphasis for children beginning to develop their communication skills.
School lunches are an option for nursery children and carry a separate charge. Families whose children need nappies, wipes or nappy cream supply those items themselves. These are practical parts of preparing for the longer sessions, alongside choosing the attendance pattern.
For additional needs, parents can contact the school's special educational needs coordinator through the main office. The school says its approach responds to individual circumstances rather than treating every child identically. Its inclusion aims cover medical needs, learning difficulties, physical or sensory impairments, and emotional or social development needs. That gives families several routes into a conversation about their child's support.
Nursery attendance does not guarantee a Reception place at Kineton Green. Parents must make a separate online application through Solihull Council to request one. Choosing the nursery and applying for Reception are distinct decisions, so families should keep the Reception application as a separate step in their planning.
The 15-hour choices divide attendance into blocks rather than daily short sessions. Session 1 runs on Monday and Tuesday from 8:35am to 3:15pm, followed by Wednesday from 8:35am to 11:00am. Session 2 starts on Wednesday from 12:45pm to 3:15pm, with Thursday and Friday attendance from 8:35am to 3:15pm. The different Wednesday arrangements matter when organising collection and other childcare.
Children using the 30-hour pattern can extend Friday from noon to 3:15pm for an additional charge. Families who are ineligible for the full entitlement, or do not need it, may apply for a 15-hour place. Ask the school for current lunch and extension charges.
Allocation of nursery places. When applications exceed capacity, 30-hour applications take precedence over 15-hour applications. Families considering the shorter patterns should factor that rule into their choice.
Enquiries go through the school office on 0121 706 3873, and prospective parents can arrange a visit by telephone. The school's uniform colours are red for sweatshirts or cardigans, grey for trousers or skirts, and white for shirts. Pre-loved uniform is available free through the office.
The usual intake is September following a child's third birthday. Families seeking a place later can contact the school about possible in-year spaces.
Yes. Families who are not eligible for, or do not need, the full 30 hours can apply for either of the two 15-hour patterns. When oversubscribed, 30-hour applications receive priority.
Children on the 30-hour pattern can use a charged extension from noon to 3:15pm on Friday.
Parents supply nappies, wipes and nappy cream if their child needs them.
No. Parents must apply separately online through Solihull Council for a Reception place.
