Nursery at Khalsa 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 If you spot anything outdated or inaccurate, please let us know.
Three-hour morning and afternoon sessions shape Khalsa’s nursery within a Sikh primary school. Its 2024-2025 morning and 2023-2024 afternoon routines combined indoor and outdoor play with Punjabi and stories. Based on Norwood Green Road in Southall, the provision starts at age three. There are up to 52 part-time nursery places, subject to availability.
The nursery belongs to the school’s early years provision. Its team combines a teacher who leads the early years with a nursery nurse/higher level teaching assistant and a teaching assistant.
Morning nursery runs from 8:30am to 11:30am; afternoon nursery runs from 12:15pm to 3:15pm. Each gives children a three-hour session, with a different collection time for families to plan around.
The 2024-2025 morning timetable combined registration and carpet time with activities led by adults and play moving between indoors and outdoors. Phonics, shared reading and a story also featured, with Punjabi on Friday. That mix gave children time to explore independently as well as join an adult’s activity. The 2023-2024 afternoon pattern similarly included stories, phonics, shared reading and Punjabi, alongside indoor and outdoor play.
EYFS means Early Years Foundation Stage. Its learning areas bring together movement, communication, relationships, early reading and mathematics, creativity and understanding the world. For parents, the nursery timetables show how that learning can take different forms within one session: listening together, practising language and choosing play.
In October 2023, early years children had repeated opportunities to discuss mathematics, including identifying numbers and saying them aloud. This connected number learning with spoken language, giving children practice in explaining as well as recognising.
Home visits form part of the nursery’s preparation for children starting. Information from parents, previous settings and other professionals helps staff plan for a child’s needs before attendance begins. This gives families a way to explain communication difficulties, medical needs or other concerns early.
Fruit and milk featured in both the 2024-2025 morning timetable and the 2023-2024 afternoon timetable, creating a snack break within each pattern.
For children with special educational needs or disabilities, parents can speak with the class teacher or special educational needs coordinator (SENCO). Support plans agree outcomes with families and are reviewed each term. Parents can arrange a longer discussion as well as communicate through informal conversations, calls or letters. The school’s support includes speech and language groups and Colourful Semantics; these are school support options, with provision chosen around the child’s needs.
A nursery place does not guarantee a Reception place, and nursery attendance itself gives no admissions priority. Families must make a separate application. Reception requires both the local authority application and Khalsa’s Supplementary Information Form (SIF), with the SIF returned to the school office. Both must be submitted by 15 January in the year the child is due to start Reception; applications open the preceding October.
Classroom preparation is separate from allocation. When children change classes within the school, information and support plans pass to the next teacher, and children can visit their new class. For a child with SEND, that handover helps the next team understand existing support.
Session length. The morning finishes at 11:30am and the afternoon at 3:15pm. Families need collection arrangements that fit their nursery session.
Enquiries go through the school office on 0208 574 9045 or info@khalsa.ealing.sch.uk. A contact form also lets parents specify the year group they are interested in. School tours are offered, giving families an opportunity to see the setting before choosing it.
For 2026-2027, autumn half term runs from 26 to 30 October 2026. The school closes to children and parents on training and occasional days, so these also need to be included in childcare planning. The next spring term starts on Tuesday 5 January 2027, following a training day on Monday 4 January.
Morning nursery is 8:30am to 11:30am. Afternoon nursery is 12:15pm to 3:15pm.
There are up to 52 part-time places, subject to availability.

Both the local authority application and the school’s Supplementary Information Form must be submitted by 15 January in the year Reception starts.
