For further enquiries, please email admissions@langfordprimary.org.uk , call the school office on 0207 736 4045, or complete this form and we will get back to you. 

Children can join our Nursery at the start of the term that falls after their third birthday. The nursery is made up of three different sessions: morning, afternoon and full time. The timings for these sessions are as follows: 

Morning place: 8.45am – 11.45am 

Afternoon place: 12.15pm – 3.15pm 

Full Time place: 8.45am – 3.15pm (A full time place requires either a 30 hour code or incurs a 'top up' fee)

You can apply for any of the above sessions however, if we are able to offer you a place in our nursery, we cannot guarantee an offer of your requested session. 

All three and four year olds are entitled to receive 15 hours free of charge.

Full time places are available if you are eligible for the 30 hour code, or you are able to elect to pay a top up fee if you are not eligible for the code.

The top up fee is payable each half term.  

You can find more information regarding this by visiting the government website: https://www.gov.uk/30-hours-free-childcare . If at any point you are no longer eligible to receive this funding, you will be required to pay any remaining fees. 

To register your interest for a place at our nursery please email admissions@langfordprimary.org.uk

Please note: the offer of a Nursery place does not guarantee the offer of a place in Reception.

Hammersmith and Fulham Council co-ordinate all admissions to the Reception class at Langford.

• Transfer from Langford Nursery to Reception is not automatic. Children who attend our Nursery are still required to apply for a Reception place at the school through the Local Authority.
• We welcome children from a range of nursery schools, other settings or from home.
