Nursery at Preston Park Primary School
Last reviewed: August 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 If you spot anything outdated or inaccurate, please let us know.
Preston Park starts early: its school roll spans ages two to 11, so the nursery sits inside an all-through primary community rather than operating as a separately registered setting. The provision is on the College Road school site in Wembley. This gives younger children a clear school context while keeping the focus here firmly on their early-years experience.
Published official information confirms the starting age, but does not set out a nursery-only capacity. Families should therefore ask the school directly about current places and the age group available for their child.
The January 2024 inspection found that well-established routines begin in the early years. For a nursery child, predictable routines matter: they help make expectations understandable before formal schooling begins.
Early mathematics is purposeful too. Inspectors saw systematic teaching in the early years that developed children's confidence and fluency with number. Early reading begins when children first join the school, with books matched to the sounds they know and regular assessment used to identify gaps. These are specific foundations rather than a vague promise of school readiness.
The school follows the early years foundation stage, where communication, physical development, personal and social development, literacy, mathematics, understanding the world and expressive arts are developed through teaching and play. Families should ask the school how these foundations are balanced with child-led play, creative activity and outdoor learning across a typical session.
A predictable start matters as much as the learning programme. The inspection's early-years finding on well-established routines gives families one useful indicator of the nursery day. Before accepting a place, ask who will act as the child's key person and how settling visits, food and care routines are organised.
Families whose child has additional needs should discuss nursery support directly with the school, including how activities would be adapted and how information is shared with parents.
Nursery attendance does not guarantee a Reception place. Families must make a separate Reception application through the normal local-authority admissions process. The statutory School Admissions Code requires schools with nurseries to make both points clear.
Reception places are allocated under the current published oversubscription criteria, so families should check those criteria for the year in which they apply. Familiar routines may support a child's transition in practice, but they do not secure admission.
The nursery is based at Preston Park Primary School, College Road, Wembley, HA9 8RJ. Official records confirm provision begins at age two. Current session times, attendance patterns, funded-entitlement arrangements, uniform expectations and collection procedures should be confirmed directly with the school.
Contact the school office for availability and an application route. Ask for the exact weekly pattern in writing, alongside arrangements for settling, meals, outdoor play and additional needs.
Official school records give Preston Park's age range as two to 11, so provision begins from age two. Confirm the available intake with the school.
No. Nursery attendance does not guarantee Reception admission, and families must apply separately through the local-authority process.
The January 2024 inspection reported systematic early-years mathematics, early reading from the point children join and routines established from the early years.
Discuss the nursery-specific support your child would receive, how activities would be adapted and how the team would share progress with you.
Contact the school office and request current session patterns, eligibility information, availability and application steps directly.
