Merton primary schools with preschools

[LubnaSW19]

Hi all,
First time mum here, staring to think about preschools etc.

Does anyone know it there is an easy way / place to find out which schools have preschools (3-5years).

Also how do people decide on primamry schools? I have seen gov.uk and seems ofsted 'rating's often differ a lot from 'performance' results.

Any tips and advise on this would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I thought every Merton (SW London) primary school had a nursery section, which runs for the term after the child turns 3 until the term before they start reception? You apply to some via the council - see their website - and some directly, the latter mostly being the faith schools. Some offer only the 15 free hours a week, some 30 hours, and all (obviously) are term time only.

best way to choose a primary school is to visit!

where in Merton are you?
