Manor School Early Years Centre

Manor School Early Years Centre (MSEYC)

Manor School Early Years Centre opened in February 2021 and expanded in March 2026. It is located on Bridge Road in Neasden.

We support 40 reception-aged pupils across five classes. All pupils have an Education, Health and Care Plan, with the majority having a diagnosis of autism. Classes are small, typically around eight pupils, with a high adult to pupil ratio of approximately 2:1 to ensure personalised support.

Pupils follow the Early Years Foundation Stage framework, with learning carefully adapted to meet each child at their individual starting point. The environment is well resourced, with a multi-use room and excellent outdoor provision that supports learning throughout the year.

We place a strong emphasis on communication, independence and the key skills needed for life. We believe that preparation for adulthood begins in the Early Years.

Pupils benefit from access to the wider school, including weekly visits to our Kensal Rise site where they take part in swimming, art, music and physical education.

A key strength of the provision is our multi professional approach. Each class is supported by a Speech and Language Therapist, an Occupational Therapist and an Inclusion Practitioner.

At MSEYC we aim to:

• Provide a happy, positive start to school
• Build strong partnerships with families and professionals
• Develop communication, independence and self-care skills
• Offer meaningful and engaging learning experiences
• Support all areas of development
• Celebrate individual progress
• Ensure learning is responsive to each child
• Promote inclusion and high expectations
• Prepare pupils for transition into Key Stage 1
