Reception & Nursery School Tours & Visiting Little Ealing
For those wanting to join our school from September 2025, we are pleased to welcome prospective Nursery and Reception parents to visit the school.
Choosing your child’s first school is important, and we understand that parents want to ‘get it right’. So we warmly welcome you to Little Ealing to get a feel for what our school is like.
Please do come and visit us to find out more about our Primary School and Nursery.
So that parents can get the most out of the visit, we will be touring the school in small groups. Our school is a busy learning environment and our pupils will be actively learning and utilising all learning spaces, and we have to be considerate to them and the teaching staff.
